Google App Engine - How to do a reverse dns lookup for push notifications

Question

Is there a way to do a DNS lookup within Google App Engine?

I've tried sockets (Python lookup hostname from IP with 1 second timeout), but GAE doesn't support it. I've also tried resolver, but I'm getting a timeout error, even though I set up timeout and lifetime (Python Asynchronous Reverse DNS Lookups).

Links included are examples of what I've tried, not the exact implementation (but pretty close to it!).

If you have a paid app you have (restricted) access to sockets, so you can use the dnspython package.
