Just set it in the option box for duplicate. Note, it duplicates in the direction you choose, based on the position of the objects's axis. Use the move tool to change the position of the axis, use the insert key to toggle between moving the object and moving it's axis.
Hope that's clear enough for ya.

if you know it's going to mirror, wouldn't half of a hole make sense? model half of the hole. you can either attempt it with a boolean or you can try extruding faces (and then moving the faces inwards instead of outwards... they CAN go both ways! =O) you can also just move the vertices in the middle where you want the hole away from the middle. instant hole!

but i solved it (whooosh)..
deleted the hi-res, mirrored the proxy, modeled and deleted the other half again. smooth it and thats it.
easy fast and exactly what i needed.
cant wait for the day i can model......
thx again.
