reverse name lookup failed

Any time I try and setup a hosts allow option in the modules I get the
following errors:

I'm running this from the client.

rsync -rv ws2743::test3 /pw/prog/BOS/stuff
@ERROR: access denied to test3 from unknown (::3)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (62 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(139)

I get the following from the log file on the rsync server:

2001/12/14 14:50:25 [5121] rsync denied on module test1 from unknown (::3)
2001/12/14 14:56:05 [5203] reverse name lookup failed
2001/12/14 14:56:05 [5203] rsync: forward name lookup for  failed:
host/servname not known
2001/12/14 14:56:05 [5203] rsync denied on module test2 from unknown (::3)


My /etc/rsync.conf file looks like the following:

log file = /pw/prog/BOS/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /pw/prog/BOS/log/rsyncd.pid

[test]
	path = /pw/prog/BOS/stuff
	comment = My Very Own Rsync Server
	list = yes
[test1]
	path = /pw/prog/BOS/stuff
	comment = My Very Own Rsync Server
	list = yes
	hosts allow = ws2743/255.255.0.0
[test2]
        path = /pw/prog/BOS/stuff
        comment = My Very Own Rsync Server
	list = yes
        hosts allow = ws3835/255.255.0.0

If I run with module test that doesn't have the "hosts allow" option I'm
able to transfer files.  Any ideas?
