+### Note
+The call to `groupcache.NewHTTPPoolOpts()` is a bit misleading. `NewHTTPPoolOpts()` creates a new pool internally within the `groupcache` package where it is uitilized by any groups created. The `pool` returned is only a pointer to the internallly registered pool so the caller can update the peers in the pool as needed.
