It is not possible to move a running process. Load balancing in a cluster occurs BEFORE the process starts - by creating the process on the least busy machine.

On a multi-cpu box, the load is shifted among processors. Once the process starts.

One other possibility is to have the same process sleeping everywhere and have it waken to handle a single request on a selected machine.
