Performing DNS requests with bah.libcurl

Hi there!

For my current project I need to perform (lots of) DNS requests with a DNS server that I can specify within my code - so changing the general dns in my os settings won't help and after hours of trying and testing I gave in to the fact that the standard HostIP() command doesn't let you choose the server.
Luckily brucey's libcurl module has a version historiy stating he "Added c-ares (1.4.0) for asynchronous DNS resolving" and I hope its more open to configuration.

But I am unable to locate the functions/methods I could use to do only the dns requests without any other curl-related stuff.
Has anyone ever tried this and can help me out? Anything is appreciated!

Best regards and thanks for your time
