I know that, I meant daemontools replaces xinetd per se.

Of course, let me re-phrase, if a service dies, i.e. BIND, MySQL, it is
automatically restarted within 5 seconds, any service you put into
daemontools does this. Even if you kill the service, it will restart,
unless you remove it from the /service dir. This is what I meant to expand
upon. Any service that dies, for whatever reason, is automatically restarted.

Security, I will let history speak for itself. There are and have been
numerous security problems in BIND, mostly with v8. As you know, this is
well documented. There has never been a security problem/hole with
djbdns, in any version, in fact there still is a security guarantee put up
by its author. Bind9 being any more or less secure, time will tell, in my
opinion. I moved to djbdns from BIND9 for its security, ease of use,
separation of proxy resolving server and content server, any many other
reasons. Just my 2c.
