The problem is that the masq modul for FTP is monitoring only connections on the FTP control port for the PORT command. So if your control port is on another high port the masq modul wont notice that it is a FTP connection and therefore wont rewrite the PORT command or the PASV response. Therefore this will be thw wrong address. You users could add your FTP control port to the list of monitored ports (ports= at module oad time or ip_masq_ftp in linux kernel 2.2.x).
