How would you like to configure it?

There is no 77 second fixed timeout. The current behavior is to increase
the period automatically based on how many consecutive failures there
have been (from 10 seconds to 300 seconds plus a random addition of
0..10*failures seconds). I'd rather make the automatic determination
behave in reasonable manner on its own than provide complex
configuration parameters for changing this behavior.
