Correct.

This is not a feature that PHP/CURL can decide to implement on its own, but it
needs to be supported by the underlying libcurl. This is meant to become
possible in the future by using the called "share-interface" of libcurl. (The
current global DNS cache should be implemented using this as well.)

There's however no time schedule or anything for this feature, so if you
really want this you need to jump in and help us get things moving.
