*sigh*

The Domain Availability tool will not give you the
STATUS of the domain only if it is AVAILABLE or not.
Thats why its called the Domain Availability Tool.

A WHOIS query gives the status. ie PENDINGDELETE or
ONHOLD.
Which is why you need to do whois lookups so that you
can then run your domain sentry using the Domain
Availabilty Tool. Otherwise you would be wasting
bandwidth and processing power.

Would you like me to explain how to build a "domain
sentry" obviously you don't understand the concept. It
is not difficult.
