This is about a forwarded recursive query. Recursive queries time out all the time, because various name servers on the Internet are down or slow.

This is not a MySQL issue - this is for queries that were -not- answered from your database.

Unless you are actually having trouble resolving various names via the recursor, and think this is not okay, there is no problem.
