That gave me:

# host -t A 0d2a3ba9-4ade-45de-85c7-321ba69caee0._msdcs.hprs.local
host: idnkit idn_encodename to idn failed: prohibited character found

That is strange, if I obtain the GUID's on my DCs and run a similar 
command, I get this:

adminuser at rpidc1:~ $ host -t A 
fb453823-737c-4a8b-93e1-dc197e236d50._msdcs.samdom.example.com
fb453823-737c-4a8b-93e1-dc197e236d50._msdcs.samdom.example.com is an 
alias for rpidc1.samdom.example.com.
rpidc1.samdom.example.com has address 192.168.1.2

Of the top of my head, is the locale set up correctly ?
