I'd go with a different solution where this is not the transform stream doing the load balancing...
The transform stream transforms. you need another stream to balance. Source -> transform -> balance -> (dest1, dest2) You'd need to override the pipe method on your balance stream, which might be easier said than done (right). Of course, there may already be a module that does exactly that, that I'm not aware of.
