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. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Giorgos Keramidas" To: "adp" Cc: Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 10:12 PM Subject: Re: Can I specify the resolver timeout? > On 2004-05-30 12:04, adp wrote: > > Is there a way to override this timeout value?
