I'd expect this to eventually time out, but it might take several
minutes. It depends on your TCP stack.

Yes.

Currently you can't, mostly because it hasn't been a big enough issue
for anyone to step forward and implement.

When implemented I'd expect it would be set via a URL parameter.

The Java socket primitives makes it quite hard to do timeouts on connect
anyway. Either you have to use NIO (doesn't exist until 1.4, would be an
invasive change) or Socket.connect() (doesn't exist until 1.4). So
you're out of luck under 1.3, and the driver will have to do conditional
compilation to use 1.4-specific code as it needs to build under 1.3.
