Probably. Am I supposed to, I have just 2 segments in this network (and 2 
others on another work) ?

Yes! 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.

ACK

That confirms that the origin is in fact "0-28.66.136.193.in-addr.arpa." 
  (Save for any typo that I may have introduced.)

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?

Please feel free to ask additional questions.
