DNS Redirect

An authorative server cannot answer with a referral for one of it's
own zones, period. That pretty much defeats the entire purpose of
authorativeness in a DNS context.

That said, you can always have a dummy zone containing just the SOA
and NS RRs.

But why do this in the first place??
