Here's a kludged-together work-around. After you do your rare pool
requests, drop the sequence and recreate it starting at MAX(ID)+1. There
is no easier way to reset the sequence number.

because the pool request will be rather rare, the rest of the time the IDs
will be generated one by one
what I thought of is having two sequences and split the range of possible
IDs between them (i.e. the first half is handled by one-by-one sequence and
the second half is handled by the pool sequence) but this seems quite lame
(the relative order of IDs of the rows will be ruined)
