That seems hard to believe, but a) you didn't say which files
you mean, and b) I haven't tried this, so I won't challenge you
on it.

I don't see why it should have to be.  My conf file says:

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
};

So it would seem one could substitute any name here.
