Not necessarily. If you re-use the handle libcurl can re-use an existing
connection, but if you're using URLs from different servers it will of course
use fresh connections for them all.

When using PHP/CURL you have two options when getting URLs: you either use
that way or you use the multi interface way.

The underlying libcurl docs for the multi interface is here:

         http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-multi.html

For the PHP docs of the PHP/CURL functions to get to use that interface, I
figure you can start here:

         http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-exec.php

I haven't found any tutorial-like docs for PHP/CURL stuff on the php site.
