Set connection timeout on Mongo PHP driver

[GVP]

It looks like the Mongo PHP driver *has* a timeout.

If I point the driver at a computer not running Mongo it fails. And
there is a MongoConnectionException with a timeout exception:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/class.mongoconnectionexception.php

However, I cannot find a way to set this timeout value using the PHP
driver.
The connect() method does not seem to support a timeout setting:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/mongo.connect.php

Is it possible to do such a configuration for a connection?

For context, I'm using Mongo in a very aggressive configuration. The
code is already built to "fail-over" to a default if the Mongo look-up
fails. So I'm looking to configure this connection timeout to
something under a second which is way lower than the current config.

You can pass the timeout as an option to the constructor:

$m = new Mongo($host, array("timeout" => 1000));

...for a 1 second timeout, for example.  See http://us.php.net/manual/en/mongo.construct.php.
