Include in web.config File

Question

I need to know whether there is another way to include external files in web.config apart from configSource="Source".

The reason why I am asking is, I am working with UrlRewriter.net module.

<section name="rewriter" requirePermission="false" type="Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.Configuration.RewriterConfigurationSectionHandler, Intelligencia.UrlRewriter" />

So I did this to seperate the file from web.config for a clean view and edit.

<rewriter configSource="rewriter.xml" />

So I have a external file where I store rewriter rules.

But I also want to break rewriter.xml into separate files.I tried include but it says it was not allowed.

Thanks..

If you are splitting the files for maintainability, you might just want to use a post-build process to merge them when you run the application.
