After several experiments at SoundCloud we found that the current
minimum read timeout of 10ms is too low. A single request against a
slow/unavailable authoritative server can cause all TCP connections to
get closed. We record a 50th percentile forward/proxy latency of <5ms,
and a 99th percentile latency of 60ms. Using a minimum timeout of 200ms
seems to be a fair trade-off between avoiding unnecessary high
connection churn and reacting to upstream failures in a timely manner.
This change also renames hcDuration to hcInterval to reflect its usage,
and removes the duplicated timeout constant to make code comprehension
easier.
Rework the TestProxyClose - close the proxy in the *same* goroutine
as where we started it. Close channels as long as we don't get dataraces
(this may need another fix).
Move the Dial goroutine out of the connManager - this simplifies things
*and* makes another goroutine go away and removes the need for connErr
channels - can now just be dns.Conn.
