The container networking behavior can't be modified by the SDK. This is managed by the backend when the host VM is provisioned. It may be technically possible to SSH into the host VM in user-managed mode <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/connecting-to-an-instance-with-ssh>, but this would need to be done manually each time a new VM instance is spun up and would not be practical. You would be much better off using a standard Compute Engine instance where you can tailor Docker to your specific needs.
It's not likely that this would be supported on App Engine Flex, as it can cause problems like allowing the container to reboot the host VM <https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/6401>, and is also not supported in Container Engine due to it being considered an anti-pattern <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-containers/gnPVt0f8nLM>, among other things. With that being said, you are free to open a feature request for this on the issue tracker <https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list>.
