Hello,

is my understanding correct, that dnsdist sends the client a
ServFail answer after 2 seconds when the backend resolver does not 
respond within the timeout (2 seconds by default):
https://www.dnsdist.org/reference/tuning.html#setUDPTimeout

and the frontend-servfail counter is increased by one?

thanks,
David
