It will if your Networker is new enough.
V8.x now automatically prefers anything
that is mounted or even nearline and have the right saveset. The pool doesn't 
matter at all.
If you are running an older version you will have to mark the original saveset 
instance
as suspect to force networker to prefer (and allow) that.
