Sure. But reducing it to a value where it is usable would render the timeout useless. It would have to be <5 seconds, and that almost equivalent to connecting to all the servers at once and picking the quickest responder. I would rather have a system where all the available LDAP servers are tested regularly, and the best/quickest/available ldap server is used by nss_ldap when a program request nss info. Like ypbind is doing today, checking NIS servers every 15 minutes or when a client report connection problems, and thus making sure a client survive network splits as long as at least one NIS server is available.
