Hi,

Is there any way to set the DNS resolution timeout to something
smaller?  Has anyone tried running bind9 on the Hobbit box itself and
having it hold cache locally?  I have had two instances where Hobbit
failed to resolve DNS for a completely unknown reason, even while the
DNS test on the two hosts stay green!
I use pdnsd, it greatly improves response time, especially for http
checks (I use a older, libcurl-based version of bbtest-net for http).

Some other users also use a local DNS cache with improvements.
