flexlm and cluster

Dear system managers,

I'm using flexlm to license products (Matlab, IDL etc, etc.) on both of
my alpha server. Now I'm planning to merge them into a single Tru
Cluster (5.1) and I'm worring about the chances flexlm has to continue
serving licenses.
Flexlm license.dat file points to the license-server machine giving its
HOSTID (arp address).
My question is: does a cluster change anything in addressing of its
members? I cannot change the address of the license-server machine since
I'm out of the contract of some of the third part products served by
flexlm.
Does anybody had any problem using FLEXLM in a cluster?

Thanks a lot from Italy,
Emanuele
