ok after a long read inside the rfc  actually it seem that
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2317
the rfc 2317 specify that the in-addr.arpa can be a CNAME in case of Classless 
IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation. less than a /24....

so the answer could be a CNAME not only a PTR.

I need to correct the Function ResolveAddressAt in the netbd.pp to be rfc2317 
compliant.

ok i missed some thing

RFC 1912                   Common DNS Errors               February 1996


   Make sure your PTR and A records match.  For every IP address, there
   should be a matching PTR record in the in-addr.arpa domain.  If a
   host is multi-homed, (more than one IP address) make sure that all IP
   addresses have a corresponding PTR record (not just the first one).
   Failure to have matching PTR and A records can cause loss of Internet
   services similar to not being registered in the DNS at all.  Also,
   PTR records must point back to a valid A record, not a alias defined
   by a CNAME.  It is highly recommended that you use some software
   which automates this checking, or generate your DNS data from a
   database which automatically creates consistent data.

So your are right and i'have to phone to our isp....

Nice
i try the netbd but i found a "bug",i use the testdns.pp provide in the directory of netbd.

hostAddrtostr('www.adeli.fr') give the good 195.167.230.4 answer.
but the
  H:=StrtoHostAddr('195.167.230.4');
  L:=ResolveAddress(H,NAns);
give me 0 result !

i notice that the result for this is provide by dig -x

4.230.167.195.in-addr.arpa. 92 IN CNAME 4.1-63.230.167.195.in-addr.arpa.
4.1-63.230.167.195.in-addr.arpa. 22892 IN PTR   s4.adeli.fr.

For the resolve unit, it's the same, the unit doesn't like an answer of CNAME for the reverse.. only PTR

I found in the doc the inet unit, but i don't found it under my system nor on

on page http://www.freepascal.org/packages/inet.html
the link ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/source/packages.zip seem to be
broken!

Try the netdb or resolve units; the inet unit is severely outdated and is no longer supplied with FPC.
