#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS, char *servers);

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

Added in 7.24.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not,
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN if support was disabled at compile-time,
CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT when given an invalid server list, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
