This is a strange requirement. It sounds to me like you have dug yourself
into a hole made of unwise decisions and you'd be better off revisiting
them rather than solving the immediate problem.

Use "in-view" zones for the shared data, and view-specific zones for the
data that differs.

On our authoritative servers we have a "main" view which has all the zones
configured in the usual way, and an "external" view which refers to the
public zones using "in-view main". Our internal zone private.cam.ac.uk is
configured in the external view with a static empty zone file to return
NXDOMAIN to errant queries, because using an ACL to return REFUSED causes
problems with query retries and CAA lookup failures, amongst other things.
