You haven't understood. I have several includes within one default
view and I need to add zones to them. Different zones to different
includes. For me name of view doesn't matter.
I believe that much more flexible and convenient way is to allow users
to specify file than such non-transparent mechanism which has been
realised.
And I don't like idea that bind user must have permissions to write to
namedb directory. For now without such permissions I get "permission
denied" error when trying to delete zone.
