As I recall they are in two places in proftpd.conf which I suspect you
already noticed.

To be able to use symbolic ranges in hosts.deny for example
proftpd: .cn .kr

On the other hand, maybe it's xinetd that is doing the reverse lookups and
causing the delays... have you looked at /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd ??? Maybe
there is something there I didn't consider in my previous comments and
messing with this problem on my own servers.
