Description
This issue has been migrated from [#10855](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10855).
---
If the server discovery phase (`.well-known` and SRV lookup) of a federation request times out, then we go ahead and send the federation request anyway (and then throw away the results).
In general, this will just cause CPU overhead and log spam.
