Storage pool can be backed by whatever mechanism. The layout of objects 
allocated in the pool depends on the object. The strategy could be 
mirroring remote objects or using proxy object instead.

As for implementations there exist distributed annex implementations 
which must support remote objects.

There exist persistent storage implementations. Persistent objects 
resemble remote objects in many aspects.

There exist interprocess shared storage pools implementation.

If remote objects should be implemented as stored in a pool is quite 
questionable. Pool is too low level mechanism. Having an object in a 
pool would preclude a lot of functionality, safety and reliability.
