initialize curl through various ip 1

[richardko]

Hi,
I have a script that executes curl on various websites. I also have 5 internal ip for my box.
Is it possible to rotate execute the curl as if it was coming from one of those IP addresses?
I thought the CURLOPT_PROXY was the option but i am not sure if this the correct method.

that sounds distinctly dodgy.

in the abstract, i would set the script up as a cron job on each box, with the timers suitably spaced out.

Using CURLOPT_PROXY sets up proxy server settings. That won't help you here.

See whether CURLOPT_INTERFACE will do what you want. This should allow you to select which of the already-existing IP addresses on your machine cURL will use as its source IP.
