.NET System.DirectoryServices question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am trying to see if someone has typed in the domain name properly in an
application using the following code:

strPath = "LDAP://"; + domainName

If DirectoryEntry.Exists(strPath) = False Then

Throw (New Exception("The Windows Domain named " + domainName + " does
not exist"))

If the domain name is incorrect, the DirectoryEntry.Exists call takes a LONG
time to return and throws an exception with the message "The server is not
operational"

Is there a better way to determine if the domain name is correct?

Thanks.
