NFS timeout intr

I have a mount with the following options:
rw,hard,intr,timeo=1

This is ok for the first attempt at accessing a mount on a crashed
server as the process can be interrupted quickly , however the timeout
increases every time I try and access the server until it eventually
reaches somewhere between 30 and 60 seconds depending on the initial
value of timeo. is there any way of setting the maximum timeout to
something in the region of 1 or 2 seconds to allow the process
accessing the NFS server to be interrupted in a reasonable time.
