It's possible. The file system is not the only possible location for libraries.

IP over DNS is a cool hack. There are a bunch of for-pay wireless internet hot-spots out there. These places usually keep full DNS service available. The idea of IP over DNS is to abuse this fact... :-)

Anywho, I could totally see

    c.b.a.scheme-libraries.chem-trails.info

as resulting in a DNS query for the corresponding record, perhaps of an oddball type. The record would contain the source for library (a b c).

Hmmm... I guess in the system that I proposed, you'd configure it like so:

    (set-library-locations
      (scheme-over-dns "scheme-libraries.chem-trails.info"))

So yeah, I would like to keep my Scheme code in a global distributed database. :-)
