Yes, there is:
These are some snippets from my curl patches at:
https://github.com/greearb/curl
You don't need any of my curl patches, but they could be
an example of how to set these things in c-ares. You should
be able to search through the c-ares code and man pages to
find info on these methods as well.
ares_set_local_dev((ares_channel)data->state.resolver, va_arg(param, char *));
ares_set_local_ip4((ares_channel)data->state.resolver, va_arg(param, uint32_t));
ares_set_servers_csv((ares_channel)data->state.resolver, va_arg(param, const char*));
Thanks,
Ben
