The true answer is no. The reason is that different people write their valuators based
on different criteria. For example:
\.[a-z]{2,4}$ - means that the string has to end with a period followed by a
combination of characters that must have a length of 2-4. This gets .uk and .info with
no problem as they're official domains. On the other hand, someone said that .museum
is now a legal domain and that means that the code has to be {2,6} now.
I'd say take a few of the best ones, look at them to decide why they were done
differently and then roll your own.
Oh, a side question. Do you want to do pre-sending validation or post?
