Yes, that would be the logical place to add an option to get the IP of an
already resolved host.

Just keep in mind that a resolved IP is not necessarily IPv4...

The connects[] array is the "connection cache". It is an array with struct
connectdata pointers, each identifying a live connection to a specific host.

You'll need to scan over the used ones to find the most recently used one and
have that return the address...

Another perhaps slightly more complicated way to do it, would be to access
libcurl's internal DNS cache to get the info. Then you could get a full
response back, with all known IP adresses etc.
