Have your tried by setting up some reverse lookup (in your /etc/hosts for
example)?

As far as I know, xinetd always does a lookup on the IP (even without
libwrap).

Also, do any other hosts fail? (Just the ones without reverse lookups?)

Ask the xinetd mailing list if there is an archive, where "FAIL" error is
documented or tell them your situation. (http://www.synack.net/xinetd/)
