On a slave server with all the zone data in nsd.db, there's no need for
plain text zone files.

However, the recommendation these days is to NOT use the database.
Instead, use this setting in your config file:

database: ""

This will write out the slave zones to disk in plain text. This mode
uses less memory, and is more robust. Support for the database mode may
disappear completely in a future release of NSD.
