 On Linux systems, you can set the timeout in /etc/resolv.conf, e.g.,

 nameserver 10.11.12.13 timeout:2 rotate
 nameserver 10.11.12.14 timeout:2 rotate

 I'll admit that I'm not sure if those options are configurable on
 Mac and/or Windows workstations.

It was those showing problems.

Only 5 seconds isn't long enough that I would expect any problems. What do I need to put into the ifcf files or tell nmcli to set these options?

If you're using dhclient to manage addresses, then you can add the RES_OPTIONS variable to /etc/sysconfig/network:

# /etc/sysconfig/network
RES_OPTIONS="timeout:2 rotate"

Or, with even less patience:

RES_OPTIONS="timeout:1 retries:1 rotate"


Grep for RES_OPTIONS in /sbin/dhclient-script for the gory details.
