You can't - The standard MySQL C API does not seem to support timeouts;
however, you can try

http://webs.sinectis.com.ar/lesanti/postfix/postfix-2.0.11-dict_mysql.patch

to enable this (i.e. query/connection timeouts). The other feature (load
balancing) needs more work (but works for sure as documented :), so It'll
change on my next iteration, if I don't find anything better.
