Anthony Baxter did a lot of work on Demo/dns. Unsure whether it does
timeouts, but it does do async lookups ;) He posted this a couple of days
ago, to the python list:

Subject: Re: Async DNS? 

The python DNS library I released a while ago (based on Guido's code)
did this. I just had a poke around and realised that it's not visible
anywhere on the net - I just dropped a copy into

http://www.zope.org/Members/anthony/software/dns.tar.gz
(sorry DC guys for abusing the zope.org site - to make it fair, I'll
whip up a DNS zope product at some point :)

I haven't looked at it in an age or two, but it used to work fine. :)
