If you always want 'ascii' - then configure it so in 'named.conf'....

zone "example.com" {
        type slave;
        file "sec/db.example.com";
        masterfile-format text;
        masters {
                192.168.1.1;
        };
};

However - I guess its a little less efficient than the new default 'raw'
mode, especially for large zones. Consider a change of approach and if
its just an automated check - try 'dig'? I'm finding with in-line
signing that zones are often spread about in journal files - which makes
options like 'dig' a better way to go. Otherwise - you may have to first
run 'rndc sync -clean the.zone'.
