lib curl seems to create more connection than seems good for some machines. to prevent issues with to many open connections a hard cap should be configurable.

the problem with multiple open tcp connections is fixed in https://github.com/travelping/journal-gateway-gelf/pull/13

if one wants to implement a real pool of senders, one needs to look into https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-multi.html.
