[dns-operations] check if a domain has been registered via DNS

[Peng Yonghua]

Hello,

Yes I know this method has many limits, but I just made something based 
on this which work fine for me.

Also this site: https://instantdomainsearch.com/

doing the biz with the same way, it says in its homepage:

Domain name availability

Instant Domain Search verifies availability by doing a dns query get 
search results as fast as possible. whois lookups are much slower than 
dns queries, but provide more information about who registered the name.


thank you!
