Without knowing many details, it seems like your approach seems reasonable. I'd have expected that your configuration service would act as both a client (using the REST service to download configuration) and a server (providing config information over UNIX sockets), but I don't really know much about your particular set up.
To turn the program into a service, you could follow the steps for "Writing A Twisted Plugin" [1], or "Using the Twisted Application Framework" [2].
