What makes you think bind runs under xinetd?  It does not.  Properly
configured, bind does not crash.  Restarting after power-loss has
nothing to do with djbdns or bind - all servers should start when the
system starts.  As for security, I have yet to see any evidence that
bind9 is any more or less secure than djbdns.
