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?

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.
