34       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
35       if(curl) {
36         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/foo.bin");
37         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS, "192.168.1.100:53,192.168.1.101");

39         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
40       }
41

AVAILABILITY

43       This option requires that libcurl was built  with  a  resolver  backend
44       that supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one.
