I recently had a look at the timer related source code and that is what 
I wrote down:

- Each SIP transaction has a final response timer (FRT)

- SIP transactions fail (failure_route, status 408) when FRT fires

- TM module exposes final response timers (FRT) fr_timer and 
fr_inv_timer (can be set using AVP)

- INVITE transactions: FRT initially equals fr_timer and gets set to 
fr_inv_timer after receiving first provisional response

- setting fr_timer to a low value (e.g. 3s) allows for fast INVITE failover

So I'm setting fr_timer to a low value for local INVITE transactions. 
Local here means sessions between endpoints from our network domain. 
Something along the lines:

route[0] {
	if (method==“INVITE”) {
		# set fr_timer to 3 seconds
		avp_write("i:3", "$avp(fr_timer)");
		# call FAILURE_DEFAULT_RELAY routing block on transaction failure
		t_on_failure("FAILURE_DEFAULT_RELAY");
		t_relay();
		exit;	
	}
}
failure_route[FAILURE_DEFAULT_RELAY] {
	# status 408 ? transaction timed out
	if (t_check_status("408")) {
		# try next target
		if (ds_next_domain()) {
			t_relay();
		}
	}
}
