Well, I have never used xinetd.
So either switch to inetd or look if you can disable this feature.
man xinetd.conf
and searching for "reverse" gave me:
only_from determines the remote hosts to which the
particular service is available. Its
value is a list of IP addresses which can
be specified in any combination of the
following ways:
[...]
d) a host name. When a connection is
made to xinetd, a reverse lookup is
performed, and the canonical name
returned is compared to the speci
fied host name. You may also use
domain names in the form of
.domain.com. If the reverse lookup
of the client's IP is within
.domain.com, a match occurs.
But I guess, xinetd will always try to do a reverse lookup for "successfull"
logging a name instead of an IP address.
