I think it's needed for those ports whose daemons do not offer the option not to daemonize (which as discussed previously would be a problem for launchd); in that case, daemondo can monitor a pid file instead.
daemondo can also monitor for system configuration changes and act on them (so for named, it can restart when the network changes).

I guess 'default_debug' is special [the docs also say it only gets used when debugging is turned on]?
I've used something like this for forever:
logging {
Channel named_log {
file "/var/log/named.log" versions 3 size 20m;
print-time yes;
severity notice;
};
category default { named_log; };
category queries { named_log; };
};
You can unload/load, kill named (HUP or TERM), or use rndc to control the bind9 port.
I usually use HUP since I've been doing that since before rndc ;-)
