options timeout in resolv.conf does not work in stable/10

Hello!

I have the following /etc/resolv.conf:

domain domain.my
nameserver IP1
nameserver IP2
options timeout:1


On FreeBSD-9-STABLE, if IP1 is down, I get a dns response from IP2 after 1 second.
On FreeBSD-10, I get dns response from IP2 after 10 seconds.

I see no changes in resolv.conf(5) man-page about timeout parameter.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
