Yeah Warren you are correct. That seems to be a hack for adding subdomain.
So to answer your queries what I wanted to achieve is mail.example.com will
be my subdomain [again its just not gonna be my host entry] it will be a
delegated sub-domain for which I'll build internal DNS server for
Loadbalancing purpose as I will be implementing peplink LBs and they do
offer DNS based load balancing. here is the link.

So instead of moving entire zone inside I thought just create a subdomain
and build BIND internally?

http://www.peplink.com/knowledgebase/how-to-set-up-the-integrated-dns-server-for-inbound-load-balancing/

So further to that if I decide to move my entire Zone inside; I believe the
only changes I would need to do on my registrar portal is add up NS records
[on my new BIND servers] and A records [glue records], right?
