Closing this ITS.

Fair enough, but is that a "we don't want this ever" or "if someone submitted a patch for (possibly OS-specific) DNS timeout we'd be interested".

This was already answered in Howard's reply:

If you know of any widely available resolver API that allows specifying a

timeout

on individual queries, you're welcome to submit a patch supporting this

feature.

The standard -lresolv doesn't provide such an interface.

I.e., the ITS can always be reopened if a working resolver API can be found and a patch is supplied.
