Ruben,

Are you asking about DNS resolution? If so, that's typically handled
by c-ares alongside libcurl. If not, you'll need to explain a bit more
clearly.

If you want to figure what IP the connection ended up with, you can
query CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP
see: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_getinfo.html
