Frankly, IMHO that's a userspace problem. I don't want to see the kernel
driver burdened with complicated timeout logic, multiple address caching
and timeouts, and whatnot. Discovering which address is still reachable
when a link fails, re-checking DNS (you really should not use a resolved
address beyond its DNS timeout, esp. not when it fails to work), and all
those sundry tasks do not belong in the kernel.
