curl-users

make curl connect to a given IP/vhost?

I'm running a geo-ip web cache system.

Assuming I have a www.example.com domain configured, DNS replies with a
different IP, depending on who asks (i.e. location in US would get a
1.1.1.1 address, location in Europe would get a 2.2.2.2 address, and so on).

Now, I'd like to monitor if each of the caches replies with correct
content (i.e. a given page contains a given string).

Can I somehow make curl connect to a given remote IP and fetch a given
vhost?

I'm thinking in something in the line of:

curl --remote-ip 1.1.1.1 www.example.com
curl --remote-ip 2.2.2.2 www.example.com

Is something like this possible with curl? I checked the manual, but I
didn't find an option which would be similar in functionality.
