hangs/multiple servers

More questions.....

I've noticed occasionally that trying to contact an http server that
seems to be down (at least with ViolaWWW & MidasWWW) will result in
hangs (or very very long pauses). Shouldn't a 30-second timeout or
something similar be in effect at all times?

Also, is there any way to specify backup servers? Does anyone else
think this would be useful?
