No, you misunderstood.
The SERVER does a name lookup on the CLIENT's ip address,
regardless of how the client started the connection
(by raw ip address, DNS lookup, carrier pigeon - well,
ok, carrier pigeon won't work ;-)
So, its the SERVER I'm asking about - does the
server machine have an ip-to-name lookup that will
succeed for that client? (And for all I know there
may need to be the normal name-to-ip lookup also,
which may explain why it takes me 60 seconds when
I'm misconfigured ;-)
Anyway, ignor all that blather in my previous paragraph
if it confuses you - the important point is that the
machine that runs the ftp daemon will attempt, as
a minimum, a reverse lookup on the client's IP address,
and you want it to succeed (quickly) if you don't like
long waits ;-)
