Please be aware of the following for mirror zones (from the first link 
above):

    /Use of this zone type with any zone other than the root should be
    considered experimental and may cause performance issues, especially
    for zones that are large and/or frequently updated./

(Perhaps a secondary zone would be a safer option than a mirror zone?)

But I also agree that a stub or static-stub zone is a good option to 
solve your problem.

Nick.
