This is useful especially with the weird .blog insertion on LeanDomainSearch. But I've always wondered how LeanDomainSearch gets results so quickly? The results are almost instant for thousands of domains.

They likely use a batch API or maintain a local cache of recently checked domains, combined with prefix/suffix filtering against a pre-computed availability database rather than doing individual RDAP/WHOIS lookups for every possible combination.

You can sign up with Verisign and they let you download a text file with all the registered .com domains, updated daily.
