You could select all anchor tags, then use the Ajax functions to see if you get a successfull response. You may be able to run this in the background as Ajax is asynchonous, so the links would highlight as each page is called. Not sure if you can stop the request once you get a 200 status, so that you dont have to downlaod the whole page, but worth looking into.
