I was wondering if anyone knows how to build a search engine that checks if a domain name is taken or not? Like the ones you find on web hosting sites.

    Or use cfx_NSLookup at http://www.intrafoundation.com/products.php?id=62 which though a bit old (1999) still works with CF 7 and it's free.

    cfx_NSLookup will work with both TCP/IP as well as name. cfx_NSLookup would also check your intranet and might provide a false positive in regards to registered domain names.

    If the domain doesn't exist, an empty string is returned, with the option of accessing additional error information.
