Do you run it at boot time? If so then it's already executed as root.
Otherwise (wearing my asbestos suite) go with sudo configured for the
very specific task. (you can configure it to allow a particular user
to run that very particular program alone).

Why does it have to be run as root? Binding to ports lower than 1024?
