BIND users will argue that you just don't know how to use it, and DJB apostles will counter with BIND is broke, and the viscious cycle will continue... personally I find DJB's solution to DNS adminsitration easier to use, propogate and automate for the application I use it for (ISP adminsitration), and that is with 5 years of BIND under my belt. Needless to say, there are plenty of qwerks with both camps. More to your question though... You do not HAVE to use daemontools AFAIK. However it is a nice package that you may want to investigate thoroughly before you outright dismiss it. Personally, I moved a few processes into the service realm for easy management. Again, wouldn't use it for everything, but it is a usefull package.
