This is short, far from perfect, but I use it to look for availability
and you might be able to adapt it - it also checks for a verisign hit
which is usually that stupid thing they did a while back where NXDOMAINs
were overriden and returned as advertising spam:

#!/usr/bin/php -qC
<?

if( !isset( $GLOBALS['argv'][1] ) )
{
    echo 'Please supply a domain name!'."\n";
    exit();                                  
}
 
$domain = trim( $GLOBALS['argv'][1] );

$extensions = array
(
    'com',
    'org',
    'net',
    'biz',
    'ca ',
);

foreach( $extensions as $ext )
{
    $cdomain = $domain.'.'.$ext;
    $output = `host $cdomain`;  
                              
    if( eregi( '64\.94\.110\.11', $output )
        ||                                 
        eregi( 'NXDOMAIN', $output ) )
    {                                 
        echo $cdomain.' -- free'."\n";
    }                                 
    else
    {   
        echo $cdomain.' -- taken'."\n";
    }                                  
}

Cheers,
Rob.
