There is no obligation to provide a working name server or serve DNS for a
domain name.  DNS and name registration are separate.

If you want to know if a domain name is available, try to buy it, or
try to do a whois on it, but I have found that not all TLDs support whois.

But beware... I have seen cases where I have tried to buy a domain
and then a short while later, someone else buys it!  There is a way to
look at who is querying domains even if they don't resolve.
