[Unbound-users] Timeout control

Hi Vitalie,

The timeouts depend on the exact roundtrip times as observed, and the
nameservers for the domain.  If you want to have a timeout in your
software in case the resolution takes a long time, perhaps you want to
use alarm(2) or another timeout mechanism (e.g. from libevent).

Such as, use select(2) on the ub_fd() with the timeout of your choice.
You can use ub_cancel() to tell libunbound that the result of this query
is no longer needed.

Best regards,
   Wouter
