Probably. Am I supposed to, I have just 2 segments in this network (and 2 others on another work) ? >At least my understanding is that you have a copy of your forward zone, and >your 0-28.66.136.193.in-addr.arpa. zone.

But I never heard of intermediate zone before. As far as I know, my top domain forwards all "di.ubi.pt" requests to me and that works.

This is > getting complicated 😉 So when your system(s) try to do a reverse DNS (PTR) lookup for 193.136.66.1, it will actually do a PTR lookup for 1.66.136.193.in-addr.arpa. and fail because you don't have a copy of the 66.136.193.in-addr.arpa. zone file locally. At least my understanding is that you have a copy of your forward zone, and your 0-28.66.136.193.in-addr.arpa. zone. But you don't have a copy of, nor access to, the intermediate 66.136.193.in-addr.arpa. zone that references the 0-28.66.136.193.in-addr.arpa. zone. Does that help?
