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?

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

sysklogd


No, syslogd, which all distros start up on bootup.

Same package, the source for sysklogd contains syslogd and klogd.
See
http://www.infodrom.org/projects/sysklogd/download/sysklogd-1.4.1.tar.gz

Sorry, I did not realise you were talking about a package on some
distribution. syslogd is the actual daemon (program) that does the logging.
distros do not start up packages.
