I have recently setup MyDNS and I set its logging facility to
LOG_DAEMON.

When a program is set up to use LOG_DAEMON which file do the logs go to
and how can they be checked?

That is up to you. /etc/syslog.conf
On my system it is
daemon.* /var/log/daemonlog
but you can do what you want.

How is the daemon log started? Is it built in to Linux or does it
require some programs to be installed?

I told you.
Put that line into /etc/syslog.conf
If you want it to work right away, also do
killall -1 syslogd
Make sure you do not forget the -1


There was not daemon.* entry in my /etc/syslog.conf file

Put it in.
Note that you can use any file you want instead of daemonlog if you want.
And some distros put every priority into a separate file.
I find that totally useless.
