Checking for domain availability

devorem

Perch
Has anyone figured out a good way to use any of the free ASP components available on JodoHost to check to see if a domain name is available? In other words, I'd like to set up a form where customers can check to see if a domain name is available before they request to register it with my domain name registration service.

I've seen some scripts that simply check to see if there are any DNS entries for a domain. I'd prefer to have the script actually determine if it is registered - do a whois query, I guess. There can be circumstances where a domain name is registered but no DNS entries are created.

Thanks in advance for any tips anyone may be able to offer.
