Bug description:  gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr timeout

I propose creating a timeout argument on the gethostbyname and
gethostbyaddr.  I have a script that uses these, and if my internet
connection goes down it takes 1:30-2:00 minutes for 3 gethostbyname's to
timeout.  This is way to long, and it would help if I could specify a
timeout.
