No; the computational cost of storing and navigating hashes will eventually exceed the cost of just running it locally. Even assuming that most of the work is done server side, the power (and latency) cost of making a POST request would probably exceed most basic calculations. My intuition says this would fail on a lot of levels.
One immediate problem is that you have to map the complexity space of an infinite number of inputs and outputs to even meaningfully store a signature of the computation. The complexity of the input is probably larger than the output, in most cases. That makes "searching" for a solution almost pointless out of the gate.
