Thanks Peter.
I was considering to use the "include" statement in my slave named.conf,
to ease the readability of my newly generated slave zone list, and to
keep it apart from general configuration statement as well.
May this be a *correct* way to proceed?

Alex: obviously my perl script would "translate" the statements to a correct slave syntax.
