Apple's OS X is based on Darwin. Apple would not chose Darwin as it's OS core and risk it's future if the OS was not a good one.
Please keep in mind the rules of the forums are not to bash operating systems or have religious wars about them.

dnsextd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual dnsextd(8)
NAME
dnsextd -- BIND Extension Daemon
SYNOPSIS
dnsextd
DESCRIPTION
dnsextd is a daemon invoked at boot time, running alongside BIND 9, to implement two EDNS0 extensions to the standard DNS protocol.
dnsextd allows clients to perform DNS Updates with an attached lease lifetime, so that if the client crashes or is disconnected from the net-
work, its address records will be automatically deleted after the lease expires.
dnsextd allows clients to perform long-lived queries. Instead of rapidly polling the server to discover when information changes, long-lived
queries enable a client to indicate its interest in some set of data, and then be notified asynchronously by the server whenever any of that
data changes.
dnsextd has no user-specifiable command-line argument, and users should not run dnsextd manually.

For information on Dynamic DNS Update Leases, see http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-update-leases.txt
For information on Long-Lived Queries, see http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-llq.txt
BUGS
dnsextd bugs are tracked in Apple Radar component "mDNSResponder".
HISTORY
The dnsextd daemon first appeared in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
