Hi, huys:

Thank you all for the helpful suggestions:-) I am actually trying to check if 600K listed domain names are reachable. many of them are just garbages like 0.00, hotmailll.com. so I need to discard them(like 000.0.com) or correct them(i.e. from 'hotmaillll.com' to 'hotmail.com'). Right now I have not yet consider sites which disable 'HEAD' method. at this stage, I will just filter out those 'NOT valid' sites into a list and then do more search on that smaller list. :)Most of the information I got so far from this thread is very helpful, thanks again: )
