Hey, I might be completly wrong, but when you say "get the connections to close if they are not being used",
I'd say that it is a bad client design to not close a connection when it doesn't need it anymore. The client should retrieve the data or close when not using after a certain amount of time. What you are trying to do is garbage collector.
