This is my guess:
When you login from an internal IP, ftp still does a DNS lookup and can't
find the internal IP address in DNS. Check /etc/nsswitch.conf and look for
the hosts stanza. I probly looks something like
dns file
So even if you have defined the internal IP address in /etc/hosts, ftp
first checks DNS and then it looks for the local /etc/hosts file.
