You're in luck -- Nmap has an undocumented "turbo mode" which scans
many hosts in parallel for a single TCP port:

nmap -sS -PS443 -p 443 [ networks ]

Of course you replace both instances of 443 above with any other
single port you wish to scan.  Most Normal nmap options will work in
combination with this.

Um ... Nmap alread HAS "a little nice -n option to disable reverse
DNS" :).  Adding it to the form above will indeed make things go much
faster.
