problem with inetd and tcpwrappers

hello all,
on our mail server, sparc solaris 9, we got some errors:
Sep 2 15:15:27 gyptis inetd[2677]: [ID 140027 daemon.error] warning:
can't verify hostname:
gethostbyname(marseille-1-62-147-30-228.dial.proxad.net) failed
Sep 2 15:15:27 gyptis inetd[2677]: [ID 913506 daemon.warning] refused
connect from 62.147.30.228 (name/address mismatch)

tcpwrappers is actived in /etc/default/inetd

/etc/hosts.allow contains a line like:
imapsd : .proxad.net

anybody knows why inetd refuses connection from this machine, whereas
/etc/hosts.allow permits connexion from this domain?

is there antoher parameter to change?

thanks in advance,

gerard
