A single hung outgoing TCP connection causes resolution to time out with default settings
When named acting as a resolver connects to an authoritative server over
TCP, it sets the idle timeout for that connection to 20 seconds.
This fixed timeout was picked back when the default processing
timeout for each client query was hardcoded to 30 seconds. Commit
000a8970 made this processing timeout
configurable through resolver-query-timeout
and decreased its default
value to 10 seconds, but the idle TCP timeout was not adjusted to
reflect that change. As a result, with the current defaults in effect,
a single hung TCP connection will consistently cause the resolution
process for a given query to time out.
