On this network it's not a problem, but I would have misgivings about it
if the network were exposed to people I didn't think I could trust.  You
can mitigate some problems by reserving certain names (no-one else may
be ns. or www. etc.).  The only other problem I can think of, just off
the top of my head, is people trying to kill the service with a large
workload.
