One way which may help you from your workstation at least would be to
add your IP address to the /etc/hosts files so that it will just override
DNS and use that information.
If you happen to know the IP address of all the machines which need to do
ftp/telnet you can do the same for them, but still it is best to correct
the DNS so that it does reverse DNS properly. But if you are on a private
network (192.128.0.0) you may never have DNS for that. It may be a good
idea to just go with a hosts files that you syncronize among all your
servers.
I am not sure if you mentioned your role in all of this, but I would talk
with the Network Administrator about all this and get it all brought up to
par.
