It's not a problem unless those DNS servers are also used as
forwarding/resolving servers for the MAAS nodes too. For a
non-forwarding server, only those zones (or part-zones) for which it
is authoritative will be delegated to it; it simply won't be asked for
things for which it hasn't been granted authority.

However, if it's used as a forwarding/resolving server (i.e. referred
to in resolv.conf on nodes), then it'll freely answer as authoritative
for anything that it believes it is authoritative for, even for TLDs
if you configure it thus.
