Why is pooled geoprocessing service not available via the Rest API?

[ab1]

I'm using ArcGIS Server 10.0.

I've published a pooled asynchronous python geoprocessing service. It works correctly using the Rest API.

When I configure the service not to be pooled, I can't access it via the Rest API anymore. I get the following error: Service 'myService' of type 'GPServer' does not exist or is inaccessible. Error code: 404.

Is this normal?

Below the Pooling tab of my service configuration:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]27533[/ATTACH]

It seems that it's just not possible!
