    What about the following re securing clusters?

    From SQL Server 2005 Books Online (search under clusters [SQL Server]\encryption):

    Encryption on a Cluster

    If you want to use encryption with a failover cluster, you must install the server certificate with the fully qualified DNS name of the virtual server on all nodes in the failover cluster. For example, if you have a two-node cluster, with nodes named test1. property box of SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration to configure your failover cluster for encryption.

    This only talks about the configuration that is specific to SQL clusters in order to use encryption. It doesn't secure a cluster specific feature.
