I'm pretty sure the root cause of that entire thread was that its Original Poster's svscanboot program was not being run at boot, because Daemontools' default line in /etc/inittab wasn't working for him. Well yeah, starting daemontools from inittab hasn't worked for me for years. So, if he's using Daemontools with systemd, I think all he needs to do is write a systemd unit file for svscanboot, and all will be well, assuming he's set up Daemontools right. By the way, apt-cache search couldn't find a tinydns or dnscache package for Wheezy. That's not surprising, a lot of distros don't. My personal opinion is that Daemontools, dnscache and tinydns are some of that category of software better off compiled. Also, I'm pretty sure there's a fork of dnscache/tinydns that does ipv6. I'll be switching to that right about the time I upgrade my LAN to IPV6.
