configuring Active/Active...

You would need to install multiple instances of SQL Server
to do what you want. So Ins1 would own DB1, and Ins2 DB2
and DB3. (Or Two instances ... whatever you want). The
way failover clustering works is that upon a failure, the
whole SQL instance will fail over to another node, so if
you had a failure on Ins1, it would go to Node 2 (or 3 or
whatever) automatically.
So I'm not sure what it is you're asking since you get
that functionality.
Your apps would connect to the SQL virutal server/instance
that has the DBs. On a cluster, a SQL virtual server is
an instance.
