The relevant paragraph in the BIND 9.10 ARM doesn't say it, but I *think*
you can use at least some of the usual shell wildcard characters in the
include statement.

If so, something like:
include "/path/to/config/*.conf";
should work.

You don't say in your email whether you've tested this, but it'd be fairly
easy to check.   If that doesn't work, then no, there is no way to
accomplish what you want. (It seems to me this would be a fairly easy
feature request to grant... Mark?  Evan?)

If include doesn't do that, you should be able to get Ansible to assemble a
single config file from a template though, and include all of your zone
definitions in that.   It might require reorganizing your ansible roles
though, so that your complete zone list is given as variable input into a
role that handles the entire configuration for BIND.
