And yes there is, you have to call two functions, one for collecting domains that are shut off and one for those that are running. For those that are running, you only get IDs and you have to iterate over them. The process is not atomic, so if in the meantime the domain changes status, it can appear twice (once for each list) or not at all. Does that answer your question.
