If you are feeling adventurous this has connection pooling, it will only work with 1.2 though https://github.com/datastax/java-driver
I'm not aware of the current best practice for connecting pooling with the older JDBC driver. I can see some support for pooling in the trunk but it does not appear to be in the (current) 1.1.2 branch.
