Yes, you just need to timeout - as Justin says, some servers will send you the offline presence in response to a probe, too, which will cut short your timeout. One thing that makes the timeout rather more bearable is if you ping the domain (or bare jid) of the contact. In this instance, you at least know the RTT for stanzas at that point, and also know whether the S2S link came up, so you know you *should* be getting probe responses very soon.
