The hang he is seeing is seemingly after inetd spawns the ftpd. I will bet that inetd is responsible for any rev-DNS that is occuring however, not the ftpd code itself. Another solution occurs to me: grab a more "robust" ftpd such as wu- where you can EXPLICITLY turn off rev-DNS lookups and where it can run outside of inetd... or you could also replace inetd with something more robust ( the DJB tcpserver tools for instance, see: http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html ) and responsive.
