Well, you could just use ".include" to add the file contents ... note
that ".include" likes to be the only directive on a line, so using line
continuations is needed ...

local_interfaces = \
.include /etc/fulcrumIpSettings

I'm not quite sure why this is useful for you; I suppose if the local IP
addresses changed a lot you might get value out of a process updating
that simple file for you. Or if you were copying the same config file
out to multiple servers, if would help -- but under those circumstances
a config management tool would probably be a better long-term choice.
