     There's a tutorial at:

	http://www.macwrite.com/criticalmass/%20mac-os-x-hosts-panther.php

on using a flat-file /etc/hosts file for adblocking and another 
(/etc/lookupd/hosts) for changing the default cache order. I believe 
the latter mechanism can be used for changing the Timeout parameter.
