It looks good, but the results are mixed.

Premium/pre-registered names are shown as available when they are not, similarly other names that are registered show as available.

(Example of the former "edinburgh" shows ".pictures" is available, but it is a premium-name. Example of the latter dns.zone shows as being available but it is not.)

Thx for the feedback, Steve. I know, this is part of the side effect of using zone files as main data source. We tried to import most of the blacklisted domain lists we were able to find. Concerning the premium unfortunately the registries didn't want to share their list with us as we are not an official accredited registrar.
