Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified that net.connect_timeout also limits DNS lookup time with the asynchronous resolver. Values of 0 or less disable this limit, and the LEGACY resolver is not affected.

Walkthrough

The networking documentation now states that net.connect_timeout bounds UDP and TCP DNS lookups when the asynchronous resolver is used. It also describes how non-positive values and the LEGACY resolver affect that deadline.

Changes: DNS timeout documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document DNS timeout behavior administration/networking.md	The description specifies that the timeout bounds UDP and TCP DNS lookups for the asynchronous resolver. Values of 0 or less disable the DNS deadline. The LEGACY resolver is not bounded by this timeout.

Priority: Low

Suggested reviewers: alexakreizinger, patrick-stephens, edsiper

Merge Risk: Low · up to 9d039

Users setting net.connect_timeout to zero to disable DNS deadlines may instead see immediate DNS timeout behavior; correct the documentation before relying on it.

Review comments at @administration/networking.md:
- Line 15: Update the net.connect_timeout documentation to remove the claim that
all non-positive values disable the asynchronous DNS deadline; clarify that a
value of 0 creates a zero-duration UDP DNS timer that can expire immediately,
while preserving the UDP/TCP scope and the LEGACY resolver qualification.
