[Pound Mailing List] Backends over Unix domain socket

Hi, 

It doesn't appear possible now, but is there some technical limitation
that would prevent pound from connecting to backends over a local domain
socket rather than a TCP port (provided pound and backend reside on same
system, of course)?  There would seem to be some benefits to do doing so
(correct me if I'm wrong on any or all): 

1) performance
2) reduced resource consumption (in terms of ports)
3) simplified permissions (file permissions to restrict access vs using
something like selinux to secure ports)

If this idea isn't out in left field, where would I make a feature
request?

Regards,
Cliff
