Can I increase the timeout for a DNS test for just one particular server ?
We currently monitor 3 in-house and a 4th sits off-campus which timeouts sometimes...which I'm too worried about...

Short of scripting up a special test, I doubt it.
However, you can de-sensitise the DNS alarms on a per-host basis by using the "badTEST" construct. For example this is what I have on some of my hosts that have occasional problems:
10.1.12.10 ssm001.bogus.example.com # baddns:1:2:3 dns=SOA:bogus.example.com
The "baddns:1:2:3" means it goes clear after 1 failure, yellow after 2 failures and red only after 3 successive failures.
