DNS Root Zone timeout value question.

[michaelreed647 at my-deja.com]

Does anyone know the answer to this, and if so, can you please
email me at mike at pec.net:

Let's say you served the zone for a ccTLD and your internic rec showed:

ns1.whatevercctld.net
ns2.whatevercctld.net

If ns1 was completely dead temporarily, how long would it take the
resolver or client to query ns2 for the proper authorative NS for a
given domain?  And, what controls this (timeout?) value?

TIA,
Mike.
