It's difficult to tell without examining the code whether it could be a misconfiguration on your side or not. Passing an invalid hostname would produce this error, although as you point out, it could be a timeout reaching the nameserver, or even an issue in the error-code implementation for the Sockets API, such that a sockets-exhaustion problem reports as a DNS problem.
It's not customary to give 1-1 support in public forums, and if you'd like someone to look into the logs and code of your app specifically, you should purchase a support package <https://cloud.google.com/support/>. However, if you think the issue is related to the platform itself, I'd highly recommend opening a public issue tracker issue <https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list> with relevant information (such as what you're doing when this error occurs, any other information you can provide), and it will be triaged based on the severity of the issue and the number of people who have starred it (combined with how new it is).
