>>> I quite often stumble over DNS entries without SOA.

In one of their more recent podcasts  http://www.ask-mrdns.com/
the hosts Cricket Liu and Matt Larson have discussed the similar
question what is the necessary minimum for a zone (file) to be valid.
I believe it was around Episode 12 or so. If I remember correctly,
they say a zone definition requires at least a SOA and one NS record,
at least for BIND, in order to be valid.

May I suggest that you also send your question in to Ask Mr. DNS, as
these two seasoned DNS experts are always keen on answering
DNS-related questions in their podcasts.
