A follow-up question...
The way the script is above, in order to confirm the legality of using each result, I am downloading HTML from the partner company and chacking it or each result. This is happening one at a time. How do I NOT wait until the previous result is checked before checking the next one... connect for each result at the same time(or almost the same time)?...

Just be carefull with not pounding the other servers with more requests than what it can handle.

I would say a Dual Pentium III 1000MHz can probably handle 50 hits per second as a top limit before active connections may start to accumulate, and eventually refuse new connections. This of course varies according to several factors, but it's probably a good gauge for a server running Apache on BSD or Linux.
