Hello,

We have an .NET client app working against SQL Server 2005 (clustered), do I need to do something special in the client app to make it cluster aware?

Thanks.

+3  A: 

No - except naturally handle server restarts. SQL Server "cluster" is "server crashed, restarts on another computer". Obviously this means you will get into trouble assuming a SQL Connection that you opened STAYS open - a cluster switch will invalidate all connections and open transactions, and you have to reopen them and restart any open work in the database.
