For starters, clearly you need a timeout to verify the ports are open/closed. This will drastically slow down your response time for servers which I wouldn't consider a good thing AT ALL especially in this industry.
Educate yourself.

This is not a port scanner. It's a huge db of proxies that is updated and added to.. A centralized db.

We have it, we use it, it works great with no noticable server lag and no noticable extra cpu load.

This is a good solution, and if you don't even bother to read how it works - how well have you evaluated it?

Making assumptions is the mark of a newbie programmer.
