OK, I tested on another server with lib-curl 7.21.4 installed. TIMEOUT-MS works as expected on that system whether passing the URL with an IP address or a hostname. I guess the name-resolver section got fixed.

Timing out with any call less than 1000 ms on 7.19.7, even when passing the IP address and avoiding name resolution, does appear to be a bug in that version. Unfortunately, that is the version that currently installs when using yum on Fedora.
