Dragos,
        I agree that it's too short, but this shouldn't be using the
default value, but rather the actual value of the querier, if one is 
present,
as calculated from a QQIC in a query. I suggest saving the QQI,
decoded, in a new "idev->mc_qqi" which should be initialized to 125
but updated by received queries and then using:

switchback = idev->mc_qrv * idev->mc_qqi * HZ + max_delay;

                                                +-DLS
