Internic doesn't let just anyone FTP the zone files anymore...but you can
build such lists via whois:

fubar:/var/adm$ whois ns9.cyberpromo.com
[rs.internic.net]
[No name] (NS18416-HST)

   Hostname: NS9.CYBERPROMO.COM
   Address: 207.124.161.50
   System: ? running ?

The InterNIC Registration Services Host contains ONLY Internet Information
(Networks, ASN's, Domains, and POC's).
Please use the whois server at nic.ddn.mil for MILNET Information.
fubar:/var/adm$ whois "server NS18416-HST"
[rs.internic.net]

The list is long enough that I'd probalby want a db database if I was
going to add them all.
