Really cool! What are you using for availability checking? You're getting so many and they're coming in so fast!?

  You can usually just hit the DNS for the domain, and if it doesn't respond you can assume it's not taken. You might hit a couple of domains that are registered with no NS set, but they are few and far between. I've used a similar process before and been able to check hundreds of domains a second. In your case you could probably do a DNS check, display "probably available", and in the background do the time consuming WHOIS scrape.

    Cool, I might look into doing that instead. Thanks.
