What are you trying to achieve with DNSNAME=\"basename\`hostname\`\";
anyway?  If you want the domainname, dnsdomainname or hostname -d seem
better.  The basename command is for finding the base name of a file.

If the domainname is what you want, something like this would work:

for i in server{1..2}; do
    ssh root@$i 'DNSNAME=$(hostname -d); echo $DNSNAME'
done

I presume you have other steps in between DNSNAME=... and the echo,
otherwise you would just use ssh root@$i hostname -d.
