Hi Steve, Just today, while doing a bit of DNS configuration on my personal sites, I noticed Verisign (Network Solutions) has a feature to "Manage Your Domain Names Through XML"
https://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/manage-it/xml-help/index.jhtml (Above URL may word-wrap) Which includes: "Check domain name availability for .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name and .us with real-time registry look-up." It looks like simple XML over HTTP which <@URL> can do. I think this is meant for Resellers to build their own front-end to Network Solutions for Domain Registrations and such. But of course there might be an SSL factor to consider with <@URL>. Otherwise, I might just suggest checking out: http://www.google.com/search?q=Command+line+Whois+tool There seems to be lots of tools available that you could incorporate into your code, for these kinds of queries. Hope this helps.
