Nice. You should run the domains through domai.nr's "info" API (http://domai.nr/api/docs/json#info-api), so the user doesn't have to manually test by clicking the button.

Thanks for the suggestion :) I'd almost prefer to continue doing the "Test" button since it'll likely only occur on a domain a user is interested in (although bad UX). I'm trying to keep my bandwidth and network IO to a minimum :)

I could, however, change my method of performing a WHOIS check for querying domai.nr instead, since I likely won't hit WHOIS limits that way.
