fail2ban failes if dns has more than one ip

Binary package hint: fail2ban

Hi,
for me fail2log isn't working for pure-ftp.
I guess this is because the accessing dns resolves to 2 ips.

nslookup ip-81-27-192-60.net.upc.cz

If I add
iptables -I fail2ban-pure-ftpd 1 -s ip-81-27-192-60.net.upc.cz -j DROP
by hand, the accesses are terminated.
