How can i use partials in dustjs with expressjs when all my templates are remotely placed

Question

All my Dustjs templates are kept precompiled in a database. To render the template I have this function

tmplfn(options, function (err, html) {
    res.write(html);  //res is the response object
    res.end();
});

But this fails when the templates have got partials in it because it is not able to locate the partial. How can I resolve this issue? Is there any mechanism to register my partial with the dustengine?

I'm not familiar with dust.js myself, but according to the docs :

 dust.onLoad(name, callback(err, out)) 

By default Dust returns a "template not found" error when a named template cannot be located in the cache. Override onLoad to specify a fallback loading mechanism (eg, to load templates from the filesystem or a database).

This seems to me like a good starting point.
