A records should only point to the host name, such as example.com.

I'm not understanding what you are saying.  The IP address is
66.167.244.79.  The given URI here has a protocol of http:// and /foo
is a directory, file or service callback provided by the programming.
E.G.: example.com is set in the A record to point to 66.167.244.79 and
I enter http://example.com/foo to get to /foo on your server.  If this
isn't what you meant, then you need to clarify.

No.

If http://example.com is propagated already then so is /foo.  If /foo
gives a 500 error code then something is wrong with the configuration.
