There's the DomainConnect protocol[0] which has been around for a few years. I didn't find it particularly well matched for open source projects, so I've also done some work on my own protocol[1]. The current draft is implemented by TakingNames.io (as a provider) and boringproxy (as a client). You can read more about it and watch a demo here[2]. That said, I think DNS might not be the right layer of abstraction to simplify this. I think we need an open tunneling protocol[3].
