    then, dont do that ;-)

    >Now my question is, what is the parameter to tune the timeout for DNS?

    well, the timeouts for nslookup , host, dig are different - so it looks
    like its up to the application
    nslookup has (afair) a -timeout= option

    I doubt there is a system-wide parameter that you can tune

    if dns-response time is critical, run a local caching-only nameserver
