Good to hear that you sorted out the problem. :)

I would avoid to call releaseExternalResources() in a ChannelHandler
because it's a highway to a dead lock.  You need to do that outside of
a ChannelHandler.  Also, please note that starting a ChannelFactory
and stopping it take relatively large amount of time.  I'd always
prefer to use only one ChannelFactory instance.  You can group the
channels using ChannelGroup (in org.jboss.netty.channel.group) in
whatever way you want.
