You could do it with a raw device and you'd have to each VM install a Clustered File System - theoretically it should work. Apparently VMware Server makes it very simple to implement the `shared disk' I'm in the process of setting it up now. Although I took a wrong turn when I installed the 2.0 version of VMware Server - ugh, it's awful.
