				Specify the timeout in seconds between retries, in case the 
				server refuses to report a valid answer. This timeout is 
				intended to prevent excessive load on the remote server, 
				increasing the likelihood of getting a valid answer from the 
				server if the server-side malfunction is actually caused by it. 
				This option is only effective if the retry policy is set to 
				normal, as the aggressive setting does not perform a timeout. By 
				default, this option is set to 2 seconds.</td
