No bug, expected behavior.
It taking 7 minutes to timeout still seems wrong. I also normally expect if a server is unreachable via ICMP it doesn't do further tests.
From what I can tell the DNS check comes from [bbnet] which I have at a default of 15:
[bbnet]
ENVFILE /usr/local/www/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --timeout=15
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
INTERVAL 5m
`bbtest.net --help` lists a --dns-timeout option but that says it defaults to 30, so something still seems wrong.
