Description:
There is currently no option to be able to specify a timeout when connecting to the backend database. If a client has a shorter timeout configured than whatever default the proxy uses, then the client can report a connection failure when one of the backend databases is down, even if others are available.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Add connect-timeout and socket-timeout configuration options on the command line/in the configuration file. This would bring the proxy in line with, for example, the JDBC driver which uses connectTimeout/socketTimeout
