I get it. Thanks for helping me understand that.

So I allow these 10 requests to complete on their 10 separate connections,
then I remove and cleanup the easy handles, then init 10 new easy handles
and set their options to talk to the same server. I add these 10 handles to
the same multi handle and do another curl multi perform. Why am I seeing
that this opens 10 new connections instead of reusing the original 10?
