For those of you spliting something like a home directory
and saying you miss added ones, a way to possibly handle this
is to have a general DLE that nominally gets all the top
dir but excludes those you have individual DLE's for.

    host Users-1 /home {
        ...
        include file append "./[a-m]"
    }

    host Users-2 /home {
        ...
        include file append "./[n-z]"
    }

    host Users-rest /home {
        ...
        exclude file append "./[a-m]"
        exclude file append "./[n-z]"
    }
