ignoring out-of-zone data (242.218.56.69.in-addr.arpa)
This is what it replies to me. What is the problem?

You placed the record in the wrong zone. www.yahoo.com goes in the yahoo.com zone. mx1.mail.yahoo.com goes in the yahoo.com zone or the mail.yahoo.com zone if it exists. You need to put the 139.239.22.195.in-addr.arpa in an appropriate zone. Placing it in one of the following works:

zone "139.239.22.195.in-addr.arpa" IN {} (recommended)
zone "239.22.195.in-addr.arpa" IN {}
zone "22.195.in-addr.arpa" IN {}
zone "195.in-addr.arpa" IN {}
zone "in-addr.arpa" IN {}
zone "arpa" IN {} (discouraged)

Are you absolutely SURE that mdi.net have delegated 195.22.239.139 to you? If not, setting a PTR record is useless because you don't have administrative authority on the IPs assigned by mdi.net to you.
I have to mention this because 99% of BIND users are clueless on the terminology of reverse DNS.
