criffoh at gmail dot com is right. Before you check domain, you must convert to ascii with idn_to_ascii function:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.idn-to-ascii.php .
var_dump(checkdnsrr('ñandu.cl', 'A')); // returns false
var_dump(checkdnsrr(idn_to_ascii('ñandu.cl'), 'A')); // return true
checkdnsrr
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
checkdnsrr — Prüft DNS-Einträge auf Übereinstimmung mit einem gegebenen Internet-Hostnamen oder einer IP-Adresse
Beschreibung
Durchsucht den DNS (Domain-Name-Service) nach Einträgen des Typs
type, die zum übergebenen
hostname gehören.
Parameter-Liste
-
hostname -
hostnamekann entweder eine durch Punkte getrennte IP-Adresse oder der Hostname sein. -

Important Warning:
You need to add a dot to the end of the host name to make a fully qualified domain name.
To see why, try executing the following pieces of code:
$d1="gmail.con";
$d2="gmail.con.";
$r1=checkdnsrr($d1, "MX");
$r2=checkdnsrr($d2, "MX");
var_dump($r1);
var_dump($r2);
You will see that without the dot it claims that the domain "gmail.con" is valid.
Note that if you time the "checkdnsrr()" calls you will also see it takes longer without the dot because it treats it as a relative domain and does several tries based on the host name it is running on.
NB: in case you're interested, being treated as a relative domain explains what is happening. If your host is "example.com" the relative domain will eventually resolve to "gmail.con.com." which can be looked up, hence it wrongly claims "gmail.con" exists

This is a little code example that will validate an email address in two ways:
- first the general syntax of the string is checked with a regular expression
- then the domain substring (after the '@') is checked using the 'checkdnsrr' function
<?php
function validate_email($email){
$exp = "^[a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+$";
if(eregi($exp,$email)){
if(checkdnsrr(array_pop(explode("@",$email)),"MX")){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}else{
return false;
}
}
?>

I always think you should state the blindingly obvious.
A function that contains checkdnsrr will return false without an internet connection.
So in a production environment you need an active internet connection to return a true result with a valid email address.

Is not possible validate domains with 'ñ' for my country.
In my country is possible to register domain using 'ñ' character. For example:
ñandu.cl
http://nic.cl/cgi-bin/dom-CL?q=%F1andu
If I use this function to check DNS record, it return false, but the domain already exists:
var_dump(checkdnsrr('ñandu.cl', 'A')); // returns false

$this->_buf - for bulk check cache
function ValidateEmail($email)
{
list($user, $domain) = explode('@', $email);
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) !== FALSE)
return 0;
if (isset($this->_buf[$domain]))
return $this->_buf[$domain];
if (checkdnsrr($domain) === FALSE) {
$this->_buf[$domain] = 0;
return 0;
}
$this->_buf[$domain] = 1;
return 1;
}
