plugin timed out vs. unreachable?

[Sheeri Kritzer]

We've set up parents (host dependencies) for some machines.

However, there are times when we had a switch down where we got paged because
the plugin timed out, as opposed to actually finding a problem.  If it did find
a problem, the host was unreachable.

Why does this happen?  is there any way around it?
