I've heard of people using HA Proxy http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ with php as a connection pool.
Note that detecting failure in Cassandra can only be done as part of a request. So HA Proxy cannot understand if a node is actually functional, only that it allows a socket to be opened. There is some work being done on creating a proxy server with Hector https://github.com/rantav/hector/tree/lcp-first-cut Not sure on it's progress.
