Websphere CPU binding

My problem is the following:
I have two E10000 domains of four CPUs. My websphere license covers 4 cpus. I want to load balance between 2 Cpus of each node (that have 4 cpus).
How can I limit Websphere to use 2 cpus only on each node ?
Is there any websphere parameters to do this ?
Or an alternative solutions (breaking in 4 domains is not possible).

The operating system load balances between the CPUs--usually, one application server, or one clone per CPU.
What version of WebSphere do you have?  

Do you just want to use 2 processors per node across each node for hardware level failover, or was there some other reason?

Have you considered partitioning off your E10000 into two zones isolating 2 CPU's to each zone?

Hardware failover would be ok. Load balancing better.
We do not want to partition again in two zones: -> We might need additional Gigabit cards -> Loosing CPUs.
Websphere is the version 5.0.
Isn't it possible to use pbind or something like this ?
Websphere does it provide tools to do it ?
