Can one reliably check domain name availability via DNS query? Wouldn't you need to do a whois lookup?

- mbrubeck 17y agoYes, whois is slower but potentially more reliable. It might be best to do a DNS query first, and a whois for confirmation. I did double-check a sample of the results with whois and did not find any that were inaccurate.
