What are the applications that need DNS reverse resolution?

Hi All,

What applications do we generally use that cannot do (or optionally
require) without a reverse address resolution.

Please correct me in the following:
DNS servers no more give out their zone entries, except SOA. A reverse
zone is generally defined on a subnet (sequential range of IP
addresses). Does a DNS server (having set up a corresponding reverse
zone for a forward zone) gives out almost all information about
Name-IP binding via reverse zone (IP-Name bindings)?
