I don't think there's a "fancy schmancy term" what you're looking for,
but it falls under what I've been calling dynamic models. I wrote up a
wiki article[1] some time ago that covered this exact use case.
Hopefully it'll help.

Yes. Though I haven't actually done it in any kind of production
environment, so I make no guarantees or warranties. If your server
blows up, don't blame me.

I had wondered that some time ago, but haven't had the time to play
around with them yet. Sorry, but I can't say one way or the other.
