• question specifically mentions SQL2011 (if it will be called that.)

    SELECT * FROM ::fn_virtualservernodes() is only there for backward compatibility and should not be used. It works all the way up to SQL2008R2 but who knows if it will work in SQL2011 (sic). It is marked to be deprecated so may well not.

    ipso facto the dmv is the only 100% correct answer
