in zone files, it´s

$INCLUDE file

in named.conf, it´s

inlcude "file";

drop class INternet, it´s the default.

it´s funny, too  :))


>www.domain.com.             IN      A       192.168.0.1
>marketing.domain.com        IN      A       192.168.0.1
>members.domain.com         IN      A       192.168.0.1

>$Include '/etc/bind/db.subdomains_for_domain'

$INCLUDE /etc/bind/db.subdomains_for_domain

I used include's and $INLCUDE´s a lot, saves tons of time and errors
