You should be able to use the CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION callback instead.
-Currently I am using libcurl version 7.15.1 which doesn't support
CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION option.

 Or, use the multi interface and asynchronous DNS and kill the easy handle
whenever you feel like it.
-To cancel curl_multi_perform() operation I used curl_multi_remove_handle()
and passed pointer to easy_handle. But if I do like this my application is
hanging as I am sharing easy_handle in two different thread. So could not
use multi interface
