Server Lookup Timeouts

I need to know if I can set a timeout value for lookups. Basically, if is recieved by one of my servers for a record that is not in any domains it serves data for, it sends the request to one it thinks is. The server will wait for an answer, cache the answer, and send it to the client. I want to change it so if named doesn't get an answer within a certain time period, it will tell the client that it can't answer the query.

Thanks,
Shon
