I'm guessing you are having these problems on a LAN
with client(lan)->server(lan)
with reserved ips.

since reserved ips are just that, reserved, there are no dns-ptr values for it
so in-addr.arpa lookups will fail unless you set up your own private one.

quickfix: add all clients to the ftp-server to hosts(5)

"real" fix, install a dns-server of your choice (no religious wars here :P)

if this is happening from an external client.
do your server have an external dns-server in resolv.conf(5) ?

hope it helps
