Hello,

I have a server application where each worker thread must make a GET to the
same third-party HTTP server.

Currently, this is implemented by having a CURL easy handle per worker
thread in the application.

As it stands, when the third-party HTTP server is behaving erratically, my
applications faces issues like timeouts and errors in resolving host name,
that causes a backlog of requests to my server that cannot be handled in a
timely manner.

Any advice on the following would be greatly helpful -

   - Would CURL multi interface allow my application to serve more
   concurrent requests? Is it better than the easy interface in this scenario?
   - From intermittent errors related to host name resolution, it appears
   that a DNS lookup is being done frequently for the same third-party HTTP
   server. Is there a way to cache the DNS lookup?

Thanks in advance,
Raj
