Cisco Router DNS Caching Server – Set Forwarder Timeout and Retries

I have configured a Cisco 1921 router to act as a DNS Caching Server by using the following configuration snippet:

ip dns view default
ip dns server
ip domain retry 1
ip domain timeout 1
ip domain name mgmt.local
ip name-server 10.110.176.12
ip name-server 8.8.4.4
ip name-server 8.8.8.8

The idea is that if my local server (10.110.176.12) becomes unresponsive, I can still get results from Google's public DNS.

However, despite my configuration, it appears that the timeout is still 3 seconds, and the retry is 3. Clients which use this caching server will fail beucase that delay is too long for them, and therefore they will not be able to connect to Internet resources if the primary DNS server is unresponsive.

Here is the debug (with cache operations removed) :

Local name resolution works correctly – it times out after 1 second and moves on to the next server. It's only the DNS Server portion of IOS which is ignoring these values.

Question – which values should I use for the DNS Server if it doesn't use the settings shown above? I have checked some online guides including this one: http://www.itsyourip.com/cisco/configure-cisco-router-as-cachingforwarding-dns-server/ and I've not been able to figure it out.

Update 1:

I've found some more settings that I need to configure:

LESNOSKIRT01#show ip dns view
DNS View default parameters:
Logging is off
DNS Resolver settings:
  Domain lookup is enabled
  Default domain name: mgmt.local
  Domain search list:
  Lookup timeout: 1 seconds
  Lookup retries: 1
  Domain name-servers:
    10.110.176.12
    8.8.4.4
    8.8.8.8
DNS Server settings:
  Forwarding of queries is enabled
  Forwarder timeout: 3 seconds
  Forwarder retries: 2
  Forwarder addresses:

So it looks like i need to try to find some settings to change the "Forwarder timeout" and "Forwarder retries"
