Comment (by Dhalgren):

 I will submit a minimal revision this coming weekend to correct the second
 paragraph issue, and open a enhancement ticket for tuneable support then
 as well.  The change is to simply to have the one-resolver case set three
 attempts with a five second timeout, or perhaps five attempts with a three
 second timeout and I don't feel that has to completed by me if it is
 expedient for someone else to do so.  Requires changing two characters,
 literally.
