You should just pipe to them all.

reader.pipe(writer1);
reader.pipe(writer2);

This takes care of all the drain/pause/resume stuff for you, and is
future-portable.

In v0.10, streams change quite a lot, and instead of trying to resume
on ANY drain, it will only resume once ALL false-returning writers
have drained.  Also, there are configurable high and low water marks
for the writable buffers, so you can decide how much data causes a
false write() return, and how little data causes a drain event.

If you want more fine-grained control, well, use programming :)
