# Push the pair of sockets to the proxy
proxy.push(sock_1, sock_2)

loop do
  # Select with a 1 second timeout
  proxy.select(1000)

  # Do some hard work
  proxy.each_ready do |left, right|
    begin
      right.write_nonblock(left.read_nonblock(4096))
    rescue => ex
      # ...
      proxy.pop(left, right) # Remove the failed connection pair from the proxy
    end
  end
