It occurs to me that you're probably looking at the wrong field. Keep in mind
that there is a host field, and an IP field. As seen in
/usr/include/bits/utmp.h:

  struct utmp
  {
   ...
     char ut_host[UT_HOSTSIZE]; /* Hostname for remote login. */
   ...
    int32_t ut_addr_v6[4]; /* Internet address of remote host. */
   ...
  };
   ...
  #define ut_addr ut_addr_v6[0]

Keep in mind that by default, yes, proftpd *will* put an IP into the ut_host
field if the IP is not resolvable. However, it should always log the IP in
the ut_addr/ut_addr_v6 field regardless or not the IP is resolvable.

Based on your comments above I'd wager you're just looking at the output of
"last" rather than "last -i".
