Detecting of dead host doesn't work on my server.

I made experiment:
Create access-list on switch with 26 targets which denied traffic from MRTG 
machine.
MRTG runs for about 10 minutes (normally for about 30 seconds).
Log says this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SNMP Error:
no response received
SNMPv2c_Session (remote host: "router" [192.168.1.34].161)
                   community: "community"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I have few conclusions:
1. Deadhost doesn't work on my machine.
2. SNMP timeouts doesn't work how expected. 26 targets with 3 tries and 2s 
timeouts are 156 seconds from me and not 10 minutes.

I look in to mrtg perl program, search "dead" and found piece with
this message: "Skipping further queries for Host".
But this message is nowhere in my log.

Can somebody help me with this problem?
