The trick? pass the file descriptor from a parent process and have the server.listen reuse that descriptor. So multiprocess in their own memory space (but with ENV shared usually)
It does not balance, it leaves it to the kernel.
In the last nodejs > 0.8 there is a cluster module (functional although marked experimental)

| // A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript | |
| // without resorting to user-agent sniffing | |
| // ---------------------------------------------------------- | |
| // If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then: | |
| // ie === undefined | |
| // If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version: | |
| // ie === 7; // IE7 | |
| // Thus, to detect IE: | |
| // if (ie) {} |
