Another option is to include rndc.key from both rndc.conf and
named.conf, which also keeps things consistent.  Additionally, it
allows rndc.key to have stricter protection than the .conf files
(in my case, mode bits 0640 rather than 0644).

I seem to recall actually needing to do this because of named
objecting to the syntax of some of the configuration statements
I needed to use in rndc.conf.

I hope this helps.
