Additionally, the max allowed difference between the observed timeout and the expected one has been increased from 50% to 67%. Taking into account 50 ms retry timeout decrease the maximum allowed difference is effectively set to 61%. This change is expected to improve the stability of the `Timeout` test which has been seen to fail [intermittentlly](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8220213). If no objections, I'm planning to close [JDK-8220213](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8220213) as duplicate of this one.

src/jdk.naming.dns/share/classes/com/sun/jndi/dns/DnsClient.java line 247:

Suggestion:

                    // unfulfilledServerTimeout is always >= 0
                    AtomicLong unfulfilledServerTimeout = unfulfilledUdpTimeouts[i];
