before this patch, the basefork probe just split the time in a
'polling' rund up between the fork groups and then let each for run
for the predetermined time ... the prolem was, that it did not take
into account that you could be handling multiple probes. They are
currently treated one after the other ...

so what the patch is suposed to do, is to allow you to set the
timeout for each probe by hand ...

it may be that the default (5 seconds) is too low for the dns probe
... I guess I should put the default timeout into the probe ...

can you try setting it higher ?
