Based on more searching this is what I ended up doing.  Works quite well 
and only zapata-auto.conf is at risk of being overwritten, but only by 
genzatelconf (which I don't really use anyway):

zapata-auto.conf:

context=to-did1
group=1
channel => 1-2

context=to-did2
group=2
channel => 3-4

extensions_custom.conf:

[to-did1]
exten => s,1,Goto(from-pstn,YOURDID1,1)

[to-did2]
exten => s,1,Goto(from-pstn,YOURDID2,1)

Then just use 'Inbound Routing' to route YOURDID1 and YOURDID2.  Works like a champ.  No mucking w/ files AMP 'owns'.
