Could using a custom error response page help you out? ...see
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/appconfig.html#Custom_Error_Responses

It could display another site than the default one in case of a DoS
error; that HTML page could use a META redirect to redirect the user
to some meaningfull location (outside your current GAE or to a second
instance of it?!).

A whitelist would be of course the real solution...
