This would introduce a dependency to a 3rd party library to Pyro, 
something which I'm not a fan of. So I won't build this backend myself.

The way I'm implementing the feature however, already allows you to 
construct a name server object yourself and provide your own storage 
backend class. You can easily build a mongodb version of this yourself 
by looking at the methods of the dbm-storage class.

You cannot use the nameserver command line tool though to launch your 
own storage type, you'll have to do this in code yourself. But this is 
not rocket science: Pyro4.naming contains  helper methods to do this 
(startNs/startNsLoop). In the next version these helper methods gain a 
new parameter to pass in your own storage backend object.
