I’m not entirely sure I follow. A proxy could translate such request to the TPF server. This actually what the DBpedia archive does now after they switched to TPF. For instance, the URL http://dbpedia.mementodepot.org/memento/20151001000000/http://dbpedia.org/page/Frederik_H._Kreuger <http://dbpedia.mementodepot.org/memento/20151001000000/http://dbpedia.org/page/Frederik_H._Kreuger> queries the TPF server at http://fragments.mementodepot.org/ <http://fragments.mementodepot.org/> internally.

Could you elaborate?
