Not really, since libcurl first resolves the name and only after that it
connects to the remote site. So if the name resolve fails, it never tries to
access anything else.

CURLE_SEND_ERROR is however a return code you get when libcurl has failed to
send data over the network to the remote server (and this doesn't include DNS
traffic which is done separately).
