include files in named.conf.local

[Thijs Koetsier]

Hi all, 

Maybe I've been looking for this in the wrong place, but I haven't found an
answer yet. So, please excuse me if this is answered many times before. 

Is it possible to include files into the named.conf.local (local bind
configuration) file? I know that single files can be included (include
"/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";), but can it also be done for all files in one
folder? 

In my named.conf.local (Debian), I have, like most of us, numerous entries
like this: 

zone "example.com" {        
    type master;        
    file "/etc/bind/zones/example.com"; 
}; 

I would like to have files in a folder, eg. /etc/bind/local/example.com, in
which the above four lines are placed in the file 'example.com'. In my
named.conf.local I would like to put something like Apache is using: 
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]* 

Whenever I try modifications on that, bind9 won't take it. Does anyone know
if this method is possible in any way and if so; how can it be done? 

Thanks in advance, kind regards,
