SSI goes to backend

You could set the SSI command to

<!--# include virtual="/domain2/oth-domain-url" -->

Then in your config have

location /domain2/ {
    internal;   # if you don't set this location to internal then your 
web server could be used as a public proxy to that domain
    proxy_pass    http://domain2.com;
    ...
}

This would make a sub-request for http://domain2.com/oth-domain-url.

AFAIK you need to set the domain2 statically in your config file, i.e. 
you can't use a regex in the domain name.
