A quick look at the man page for resolv.conf doesn't reveal any such
option.

DNS resolution is limited by 'Net connectivity. To my knowledge, there
isn't any automatic retries built into the DNS server, or the resolver.
Retries are initiated by the software.
If you want to cut the time on DNS resolution, you must make sure that
the connectivity between the client and the DNS host be very good.
If you ISP's DNS server sucks big time, you could build a small DNS
server on your FreeBSD host, and see whether that helps; mind you,
nothing helps like having good connectivity.
Cheers.
