+pgpool is a connection pool server for PostgreSQL. pgpool runs between
+PostgreSQL's clients(front ends) and servers(back ends). A PostgreSQL client can
+connect to pgpool as if it were a standard PostgreSQL server.
+
+pgpool caches the connection to PostgreSQL server to reduce the overhead to
+establish the connection to it.
