I did some research in the group and it appears someone had a similar 
question about unloading modules that were loaded with require.

Am I correct in reading that the use of nodules would allow me to 
require('./module1') then dump the entire contents of that 
module programmaticly at a later time? Then reload it if I felt like it, 
all within the same node process.

It seems I could build a simple app server with dynamic modules can be done 
like so:

I have this working pretty well except for the unloading piece. Is this 
possible or do I have to find a mechanism to bounce the nodes?


var loadedModules = {};

on('load', function(moduleName) {
   var module = require(moduleName);
   module.start();
   loadedModules[ moduleName ] = module;
});

on('unload', function(moduleName) {
     // unload here..     
});

I completely realize that I am oversimplifying so I am hoping to get 
straightened out.
