Godswill I believe he is asking about the alias command since that is
specifically used for DNS doctoring.  But, if his clients are on the same
network as the DNS server it won't work.  But, as you said, I'm not quite
sure what he is asking.

You are also sort of incorrect if you are saying that you can't adjust the
DNS timers. You can't adjust the specific DNS timers themselves, but you can
adjust the UDP timer.  I'm not sure if that's what you meant.  You are very
correct that 2 minutes is an eternity and I think that is way too long to
have a UDP connection open.  Just change the UDP timeout conn as shown
below.  The example is changed to one minute.

timeout conn 1:00:00 half-closed 0:10:00 udp 0:01:00 rpc 0:10:00 h323
0:05:00 sip 0:30:00 sip_media 0:02:00
