Are you referring to setting up cluster nodes as domain controllers or running a domain controller using a clustered virtual group? The former is typically discouraged (refer to http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/16a8fa56-8de9-4ea5-9c66-33605823bbc71033.mspx?mfr=true and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281662 for caveats), and you should stay away from the latter, considering that cluster requires domain controller to operate (which creates a Catch 22 type of issue)...
