I am looking for a way that you, or anyone else, could indicate a domain should not be considered "in service" although the name is registered and has an A record pointing to an active server so when I check that name it doesn't require a human to interpret the results. Most of the legit domain parking operators make it pretty obvious to a human looking at the web page its not an active domain name , e.g. The Future Home Of XYZ, Buy This Domain Now, etc. Unfortunately what may be obvious to a human is sometimes difficult for a dumb computer. I just want a way to make it equally obvious to a computer. As Randy points out, there is more to the Net than the Web, so the better solution should not depend on sending a query to port 80.
Don't parked domains exist on a registrar owned IP? I would think a list could be built from spending some time contacting each registrar (http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html). ;-)
Or if you didn't mind over-compensating, you could at least assume that"Various Registrars" listed here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space will probably contain the registrar's public sites as well as hosted domains. Just my $.02
