libcurl uses its DNS cache by default as long as you re-use the handle. You
can change the time it'll hold entries in the cache - it is only meant to aid
"spikes" or rapid requests to the same host names as it doesn't get the "true"
TTL values.

The multi interface or the share interface allow you to share the cache over
multiple simultanoues requests.
