Thank you again for the initial feedback. I have now changed the HTTP connector
to produce following kind of urls:

GET /dns/lookup/example.com/SOA
GET /dns/getDomainMetadata/example.com/PRESIGNED
GET /dns/getDomainKeys/example.com/0

And f.ex. lookup contains additional headers:

X-RemoteBackend-local: 0.0.0.0
X-RemoteBackend-real-remote: 127.0.0.1/32
X-RemoteBackend-remote: 127.0.0.1

I have also done some light testing for the other backends, and they seem to
work for simple stuff.
