Another possible alternative, at least if you are using Linux running IPTables is to move your FTP server *inside* the firewall, to an internal IP of your choosing and severely constrain access to it using a well-chosen IPTables script. Of course, if you are as road-weary as I am of the games that dip.t-dialin.net users have attempted in the past, simply firewall them entirely by their IP's. It's crude, it's rude, and perhaps not even good policy, but it certain cuts down the volume of spurious traffic of all kinds.
