Yes (of course you can use CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT or CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE to prevent the re-use).

Look at "Sharing Data Between Easy Handles" in http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html for more info.
You can also look at section " Multiple Transfers Using the multi Interface" (same URL) for general information about multi.
