Multiple Configuration Files
Is it possible to use multiple configuration files for a WCF service as well as client sides? I know that SvcUtil tool has the functionality to merge the config file. But I am more interested in a master web.config/app.config that can point to zero or more other config files. IIS7 seem to be doing this. Is WCF is also moving in that direction?
This allows for different teams to add their own configuration files with their own add-in components and simply have the master config file to point new config files. This makes configuration process much easier.
Thanks.

I understand that you can customzie the configuration file so that it can point to other configuration files. But this requires extra coding on user part. I was thinking more on the lines of IIS7 and xml schema include attribute. They both work without writing any extra code.
May be .net framework 3.0 need to have a way to include other configuration files in the master configuration file (which resides with application binary)? Since WCF is now called .net framework 3.0, can this multiple configuration files with one master file is a reality?
The bottom line to have extensibiilty in the configuration files area. This may not be the right forum for the question but I wanted to know where WCF is going on this particular topic.
Thanks.
