It's always a mistake to ask anyone to explain a term made up by
someone else. Purely at a guess, I would say that his or her "mirrored
primary" is a slave to your "true primary", and that all other peer
name servers are slaved to that one.
Note that, to any name server not involved in the master-slave
relationship, there is no such thing as "master", "slave", "primary",
or "secondary". All posted name servers are treated as peers.
