OK, if I run your command against my DC's, I get a similar response:

host -t SOA DC01.samdom.example.com
DC01.samdom.example.com has no SOA record
host -t SOA DC4.samdom.example.com
DC4.samdom.example.com has no SOA record

However, if I run it like this on each DC:

root at dc01:~# host -t soa samdom.example.com
samdom.example.com has SOA record dc01.samdom.example.com. 
hostmaster.samdom.example.com. 235227 900 600 86400 3600

root at dc4:~/tests# host -t soa samdom.example.com
samdom.example.com has SOA record dc4.samdom.example.com. 
hostmaster.samdom.example.com. 235227 900 600 86400 3600
