Overriding DNS queries

Hi all,

I've looked through the documentation and don't see any mention of
this, and thought I'd ask before I start grovelling through the code.

I need to be able to send an HTTP request to a specific IP address,
overriding the hostname->IP mapping that libcurl would normally do,
something like:

  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.invalid/")
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ADDRESS, "172.17.10.11")

...to connect to 172.17.10.11 and do a

  GET / HTTP/1.1
  Host: example.invalid

Is this functionality there? If not, would it be a useful addition to
patch in?

Cheers,
  Steve
