Just be certain we're on the same page, by local DNS we're referring to
pdnsd or bind9 being on the same box as the Hobbit daemon, correct?

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.
