I approached this problem a little differently, and have a semi-decent solution in actionHero today: https://github.com/evantahler/actionHero/blob/master/bin/include/startCluster.js
If the master process is simple enough, you can probably get away with rarely reloading it. Mine only handles the spawning of children and basic unix signaling. Parent and Child don't need to be running the same code, so your *real* application code is executed by the children. When it's time to upgrade the code for your application, you roll off (kill one, start a new one, repeat) the children until you have a newly spawned collection. Regarding websockets, one of the main reasons I moved from socket.io to Faye is that it supports clients reconnected to another server (with a redis backend). This way, clients will reconnect to a new cluster member as they roll over (albiet with some period of disconnect).
