How to define a cluster alias on Windows 2003 or XP

How do you define a "cluster alias" in Windows 2003 or XP.

I've built an Oracle RAC 2 node cluster, and I want to set up a cluster alias, so that I can use a normal TNSNAMES entry to connect to the RAC database.

Does any one know how to set up a cluster alias on Windows 2003, is it just a  simple entry in the
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

The RAC group if has a network name that should suffice.  That name would exist on the owning node.  Are you looking for an alias to the group network name?
