yep... :)

I can also add a function to "prune" out these entries, so you would
call (function name certainly not in stone :):

curl_dns_clear(CURL *cp, int age);

and it would prune all entries in cp->hostcache (which is, depending on
your preferences, a local cache, multi-handle cache or a global cache)
that are older than "age".
