The easiest way to do this would be to run a dedicated httpd process for each application (forming your "pool"), and then combine them into one website using a standard reverse proxy configuration.

There wouldn't be much need for any custom code to do this.

The advantage of this technique is that your "application pool" can be any kind of server you like - Apache, IIS, JBoss, whatever.
