I was doing something similar with LRP and bind for a while, but I've migrated to bind 9.x, which won't gracefully compile with the older libc used by LEAF distos, so I've moved DNS to RedHat based servers (I'm using lots of the new 9.x features, including multiple views, which is kind of akward to setup with tinydns). Other than issues you might run into with using tinydns vs the more "standard" bind, there are no particular "gotcha's" with using LEAF for a thin server OS. Although mainly used for routers & firewalls, the "nothing but the basics" mentality works just as well for small, dedicated servers. Just remember you don't have emacs, perl, etc., but for something like a DNS server, you probably don't need that anyway.
