I'm looking at MSFT press book for SQL 2005 and they say and active / active
cluster needs two virtual server names.

Confirmed.

Each instance in a multi-instance cluster requires a separate virtual server
name, IP address and disk resource. This is true in SQL 2000 and 2005.

you also need two virtual server names (= two instances) for SQL 2000

active / active means one virtual server (instance) runs on one node, while
the other virtual server (instance) runs on the other node. Each one of
these instances are running their own set of databases.

HTH,
_Edwin.

Don't forget if one node goes down, you have 2 sql instances on 1 node.
Keep performance in mind!
Active/passive is the bomb...
