... but if you allow yourself (or your system) to edit the included
file, it can in turn list the files that you want included, like so:


named.conf:
    ...
    ...
    include "include-files.inc";
    ...


include-files.inc:
    ...
    ...
    include "my-first-additions.inc";
    include "my-second-additions.inc";
    include "my-third-additions.inc";
    ...

But globbing and/or a conf.d/ would indeed be nice. :-)
