So to be fair, there is a concept called MNS clustering (Majority Node Set)
that might be of interest to you.  Haven't heard if Exchange supports that
yet though.  
It's really a solution for geographical disparity and uses a shared nothing
approach where what you talk about is possible if you throw in another
server at least and the total solution is cluster HCL certified (see below).
I don't recommend it for Exchange even if it is supported though.  

For all clusters, it's highly critical that you deploy a recommended
solution that also appears on the HCL.  Many have not and many are not happy
about it later <g>

Hi,

Is it feasible to implement a clustered Exchange 2003 server environment
with two Windows 2003 Enterprise servers, each server having internal IDE
(ATA) drives not SCSI, and no "shared storage array" device?  i.e., the two
servers would keep in sync over a private ethernet link, including Exchange
2003 Enterprise.

best regards
Mike
