There are use cases for which shorter timeout values make sense.
For example if there is a load balancer which sets RD=1 and
forwards queries to a BIND resolver which is then configured to
talk to backend servers which are not visible in the public NS set.
WIth a shorter timeout value the frontend can give back SERVFAIL
early when backends are not available and the ultimate client will
not penalize the BIND-frontend for non-response.
