Starting from 28 apr 2011 on webmaster google tool I have 9 pages timed out (DNS lookup timeout), but if I visit my website or such pages everything is ok. Could someone help me to detect the problem?

There may no longer be a problem, and it may never have been under your control anyway. There are many free DNS testing tools online. I'd say just pick one or two or those and one or two of the free page speed tools as well - and see what they say.
I had a situation like this with a site last year. Eventually the Webmaster Tools message went away and we never could see a problem when we tested. Rankings and traffic were never affected, either. That might have even been a technical problem on Google's back end.
