.conf files

[tamara]

hi,
There are areas in the .conf files where you can list
a number of things..such as domains or ip addresses
in a deny or allow area.
For a few items, that is ok.
But if you are getting a list of quite a few things..
such as ip's to deny, it would be nice to have another
way..

An easier way to keep that 'list' up to date would be
to simply have a file somewhere with the list of items..
such as domains or ip's. etc.

Now here is my problem...
What can i do to make my little file be included into
the .conf file in the proper location?
so the server thinks my little list is actually right
in the .conf file rather than in my separate file.

i saw this being used this way on a server...and there
was nothing extra in the .conf file so i could not figure
out how they were doing it.

any ideas?

this would have a lot of general uses in various places
so it seems like something that would save a lot of time
once it is worked out.
