I gather from your other emails you are using 1.4.3, yes? I believe that has npersocket as an option. If so, you could do:
mpirun -npersocket 2 -bind-to-socket ... That would put two processes in each socket, bind them to that socket, and rank them in series. So ranks 0-1 would be bound to the first socket, ranks 2-3 to the second.
