While I'm excited to be able to use haproxy for this, one alternative on nginx is to store the hostname you want looked up dynamically in a variable, and use that variable in a proxy_pass directive or equivalent. E.g. "proxy_pass http://$backend:80;" will cause Nginx to pass the value $backend to any resolver you have defined dynamically without needing Nginx Plus.
