In an MSCS clustering environment , user connect to a service via a 'virtual' IP address . This 'virtual' IP address points to the actual server IP address in the cluster . How can I retrieve the real IP address ?
 
That IS the real IP address...don't know what you're asking...

It is a real IP address but it is not the server address .
I want to know when there is a failover .

There is an IP MSCS resource , say 10.1.1.1 , which users logon to
The actual server the system the users logon to can be one of two IP addresses 10.1.1.2 , say , and 10.1.1.3 .

The IP 10.1.1.1 can either belong to 10.1.1.2 or 10.1.1.3 depending which server in the cluster holds the reource 10.1.1.1 .
