DNS Lookup

Is there any way to check for DNS names ?
I want to check up the availability of some huge list of possible domain names.
I want to know the ones which are free and the ones that arent - their total details - like
checkdn.
Is there any way to get this info without parsing some dns lookup site ?
Thanks

only thing i can think of is issuing a finger/ping and seeing if you get any return results.

but that doesn't always mean the domain is free. For example my server is having warranty work done but my domains still pointed to it. So on your list it would appear as not taken.
You probably have to get special permission from the company who stores all the dns information. I forget the name. For .ca names its like CIRA or somethign.
You probably have to request it from them.

Its seems for whois lookup the following are used
whois.verisign-grs.com, whois.publicinterestregistry.net, whois.neulevel.biz, whois.affilias.info.
But none seem to have a webpage.
Is there any way I can search using these servers mentioned above ? Because these are the ones searched when querying in most whois/dns lookups.
