Most likely. Often, linux ftp servers are configured to do reverse
lookups on inbound hosts - for logging and other verification purposes.
Eventually, you'll get a time out - when the lookup fails, and you get
in.... (about 2 minutes).
the log writes that you are connected right away - because that's correct...
you are connected right away. The response will be much faster once the DNS
is updated.
Either that, or disable DNS lookups, or change the lookup order on your
linux box to reflect hosts, then DNS - or just remove dns completely, if you
don't have a DNS... (i'd only disable DNS if you're on a home network,
which doesn't have a DNS).
