Disable reverse lookups in ftpd

Hi, Any easy way to disable dns reverse lookups in ftp? I have read the following

http://www.wu-ftpd.org/man/ftpaccess.html

and I suppose setting the following varibles

dns refuse_mismatch [override]
dns refuse_no_reverse [override]

would work if my ftp server would answer inmediately that it can´t resolve the ip address. But the problem is that the ftp
server doesn´t answer it can´t resolve the ip address quickly it spends more than 60 seconds before answering.

I have thought in setting a low timeout in resolv.conf but I wanted to know if you can think in an easier way to avoid these
delays
