Hi
Our zone file is too big, and it becomes very difficult to manage it, is
there a way I can separate it into small files, maybe one with A records
and another with CNAME and so on

You havn't run "rndc-confgen -a" or defined a controls clause
in named.conf. Named assumes that if a controls clause has
not been declared then "rndc-confgen -a" has been run and it
should look for a key in /etc/rndc.key. Without doing this
you cannot use rndc to control named.

Without a source of entropy named will not be able to
dynamically update secure zones using DSA keys.
