There's just not enough details for us to tell.

If you keep doing requests against the same machine very frequently, why does
it create new connections at all, shouldn't they all reuse the connection?

You say 700 requests per second, but why do you use one thousand handles for
that? You should be able to use a single one.

CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT means that the TCP handshake failed (connect() failure
typically). It *usually* implies that the server didn't accept it, but it can
also be due to resource problems client side. If you use a thousand handles
within the same process, you can probably run into a too many open sockets
problem.
