I'm afraid I don't understand this question. Is what ignored? You
say you don't specify it -- how can it be ignored then?

Sure you can, just don't use "timeout". It's meant as a simple way to
set (or unset) all timeouts.

I think this is a case of
"Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do that."
"Don't do that, then."
:-)
Seriously, if you don't want to change dns_timeout, then don't use the
timeout option.
