Just for reference....

[egreshko@meimei tmp]$ wget http://209.132.178.35/25/repomd.xml

[egreshko@meimei tmp]$ host 209.132.178.35
35.178.132.209.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer vm-35-178-132-209.osop.rhcloud.com.

I'm guessing the "vm" stands for "virtual machine"

Yes, it all sounds very odd.  If those systems have been updated from previous
versions you can try using /usr/bin/dnf-2 to update.  I'm going to guess this will
also fail.  Meaning, I don't think it is a dnf issue.

Since you have 3 systems all acting the same way I would suspect something external
to the systems.  Is it safe to assume you've not made any recent changes?

What I would do is first try using an external DNS server.   I would manually edit
the /etc/resolv.conf file and change the nameserver entry to point to 8.8.8.8 or
8.8.4.4 which are google's public DNS servers.  Then clear all the cache and try again.
