I assume that is because you have nodename information locally that is not known at MIM, in which case yes, you might get burned. I try to register all my node name/number allocations with BQT, seems like the sensible thing to do, have them in a central database somewhere. As far as I'm concerned, MIM has the canonical (and most up-to-date) node database of HECnet. Is this assumption correct?
