You wouldn't have a problem with SilkJS. Something like this works: (function() { var handle = null; ...
function connect() { if (!handle) { handle = mysql.connect(); } } ... exports.connect = connect; }()); Every child would get a null handle at fork() time. So each child would call your connect() method and get a new handle. That's kinda rough, but I think you get the idea. The handle variable could be a global variable, too, since those get cloned by fork().
