You are correct, connect to the last host with the client directly. You
should keep track of which host has the VC and start that host up first,
connect using the client directly so you can start the VC.
Update your resume :)

Thanks John, Robert and Kurt. I've got a full plan for how to go about the
shutdown and restart. One physical DC will be the last to shutdown and the
first to power up. Putting that plan together was long overdue and a good
exercise in really understanding dependencies.
