Can I specify the resolver timeout?

[adp]

I did in fact look at the manpage and did not find that option. I just
looked again and I still can't find it.

# man resolv.conf | grep -i timeout
# uname -r
4.10-BETA

Are you running FreeBSD 5.x perhaps?

If the option is available and my manpage is wrong then that's fine. Just
let me know. :)
