It taking 7 minutes to timeout still seems wrong. I also normally expect 
if a server is unreachable via ICMP it doesn't do further tests.

From what I can tell the DNS check comes from [bbnet] which I have at a 
default of 15:

[bbnet]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/www/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --timeout=15
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

`bbtest.net --help` lists a --dns-timeout option but that says it 
defaults to 30, so something still seems wrong.
