I'd say that there is. This goes counter intuitive to what a transaction 
timer means (and used to mean before this change). A transaction timer 
indicates how much to wait for a transaction and it doesn't care how many 
DNS lookups you've made. If I indicate that my transaction should timeout 
if no provisional reply is received in 15 seconds, I expect it to timeout 
in 15 seconds, not 30, 45, or 150 depending how many addresses the target 
domain has. Not only is this counter intuitive but is completely 
uncontrollable.
