'man diald' gives you a whole bunch of timeouts - just look for
"-timeout". I can't remember right now - I'm not near a linux box.

I got rid of this problem last night - my linux PC is the default
gateway for a win95 PC which seems to want to ping (?) its first
configured DNS at startup. The DNS address I had was not on my LAN so
diald decided to connect. I reconfigured win95 to see the cache DNS on
the linux PC instead, and the problem went away.
