Gentelemen,

Could you perhaps try
http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/pdns-recursor-3.1.8-testing.tar.bz2
?
It has a default timeout of 1.5 seconds now, and this can be tuned
using the 'network-timeout' setting (in milliseconds).

Please let me know if it solves the problem.

I might make this auto-tuning.
