    Thanks for the info.

    I ran across this in the BIND 8 resolver.5 manual:

       timeout:n
       sets the amount of time the resolver will wait for a
       response from a remote name server before retrying the
       query via a different name server. Measured in sec-
       onds, the default is RES_TIMEOUT (see <resolv.h>).
