I want to use a node instance to stress my node server.  I could do
something like this on my node instance:

  var nowjs = require('../node_modules/now/lib/nodeclient/now.js');
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    now[i] = nowjs.nowInitialize('http://localhost:8080');

but the code in now/lib/nodeclient/now.js sees the same URL being used
and returns a prior instance.

Is there a good way to establish multiple now instances on a single
node instance, to really stress my server?

thanks!

I modified now/lib/nodeclient/now.js in a couple ways:

- Get rid of the code that returns an existing now instance for the
same URI, i.e. get rid of:

    if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(nowObjects, uri)) {
      return nowObjects[uri];
    }

- Force socket.io to create a new connection for the same URI, rather
than reusing an existing one:

    var socket = io.connect(uri, { 'force new connection': true });

Now I can stress test my node server using now, which is really neat.

Would love to hear if there's a better way of doing this!
