You could set hints->dest_addr, but I think the more typical model is to set the "node" and "service" parameters to fi_getinfo() to be something like "192.168.3.32" and "37000" on the active side, which should set the returned info->dest_addr correctly for you.  I.e., it should behave much like getaddrinfo(3).
