Hi Chris,

I am indeed speaking of the DNS resolution.
The Primary IP is indeed what I am looking for I think.
But I am using the .NET edition (c#) of curl and I don't think this information 
item is implemented yet (correct me if I'm wrong).

Better explanation:
When connecting to an domain, say for example google.nl you can create an 
connection with more than 1 IP address (there are more IP addresses linked to 
one domain address). So what I want to know is: Which IP address is Curl using 
when it is getting a list of IP address from one domain address. If I know this 
I know which IP address I have visited when connecting to an domain.

I hope this is a better explanation.

Thanks,
Ruben.

Ruben,

Are you asking about DNS resolution? If so, that's typically handled
by c-ares alongside libcurl. If not, you'll need to explain a bit more
clearly.

If you want to figure what IP the connection ended up with, you can
query  CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP
see: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_getinfo.html
