Models are already cached by Mongoose and you can use the same schema object for multiple models/collections. So just create your set of models once (at startup) using code like:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var schema = new Schema({...});
var model1 = mongoose.model('model1', schema);
var model2 = mongoose.model('model2', schema);

If you don't want to pass around the model1, model2 model instances, you can look them up as needed by calling mongoose.model('model1'); in your handlers.
