Connection pooling in Netty

I'm trying to build a reverse proxy with Netty, and I'd like to keep a pool of open sockets to the backend servers, instead of every incoming socket requiring a new socket from the reverse proxy to a backend server.

Can you do this with Netty? How?

Thanks for any help

Ok, answering my own question, there is a nice example how to do this in the LittleProxy source code. In particular, in HttpRequestHandler.java, follow the usage of endpointsToChannelFutures.
