I am not sure this is the problem. Since when using mirror you get an error, you will get the same error by using the enterprise.com from your hosts file, since the name to IP resolution is done locally the result will be exactly the same. After getting that error apt-get will assume wrong address and begin solving using the second option: dns and connect to the public server. Anyway since you can't get in your server with the name mirror: you will not be able to use it. Put the server back in the inside zone and not in the DMZ. Michel.
