When I understand you correctly, then the only thing to do to support
multiple pipelines is to take care, that the local port for easy

existing connections or opens new connections in case a connection
with the local port does not exist yet. Then multiple pipelines may
exist within one multi handle. I'm not familiar with the libcurl
source code in detail, but from logical point of view that should work.
Yes that's exactly what I meant. It could be clarified that this would
allow multiple pipelines to the _same_ target host. It already
supports multiple pipelines if you just use different host names.
Multiple pipelines to the same target host are then ok, as the user
explicitly chose a dedicated local port binding. Especially, in case a
custom IP routing based on local ports is applied, it is necessary to
use the local ports as configured, as otherwise a source port based
routing is not possible,because the source ports may differ from the
configured ones.
Do you plan to make this change ?

Stefan
