Ugh, so after a couple hours of frustrating results trying to FTP into my web cluster, a friend brought the obvious to my attention, windows 2008 firewall is blocking FTP by default, and that's why I can only reach it locally. Do the following to turn it off for anonymous(non SSL) FTP.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="FTP (no SSL)" action=allow protocol=TCP dir=in localport=21
netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFtp enable
