I use a daemontools setup, because I have problems with an nsd instance that ran itself
out of memory and croaked. There are some caveats - at least with the version of
AOLServer that I'm using -

#1) - Sometimes nsd will die but its threads will somehow still survive - very weird.
Maybe this is due to the Linux version I'm using? I've found I have to eventually 
killall -9
the remaining threads.
#2) - Often the time between the nsd dying and relaunching is too fast, and the new nsd
is perfectly happy to launch without correctly snagging port 80. Also bad. I remember
some talk about this very same issue a while ago, it's probably been fixed in some 
other
version of aolserver.

However, I can hit svc -t aolserver and it will restart it for me. Which is nice.

All in all, I'm a bit disappointed with the setup. Additionally, I use the daemontools
logging set up, and I don't like that very much either.
