Is it possible to override the hostname validation for SSL certificates?  I
have 2 servers with the same hostname (Primary & Standby) but different IP

check their status,   To do this I have to specify the IP address instead
of the hostname in the URL.
e.g.
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://x.x.x.x/test.html";);

What I would like to know is can I send a request to a specific IP address and still verity the certificate contains the expect hostname?

I am using CURL version 7.15.5

We introduced CURLOPT_RESOLVE (in libcurl 7.21.3) for that purpose (among others)...
