Domain or Workgroup?

Hi,
In a 2-node SQL Server 2000 Active/Passive cluster running
under Windows 2003 Enterprise, can both computers be
member if a workgroup (i.e. "WORKGROUP") or do they "have"
to be members of a domain?
Thanks.
They HAVE to be domain members. The cluster service requires a common
security context to transfer resources and manage virtual servers.
