Not so crazy.  RTFMing in Plan 9 requires close attention - minimalist style
means every word matters.  The clue is in ndb(6):

          Ndb/cs can be made to perform such network aware searches by
          using metanames in the dialstring.  A metaname is a $ fol-
          lowed by an attribute name.  Ndb/cs looks up the attribute
          relative to the system it is running on.
