Anonymous FTP to nic.ddn.mil, get file 'netinfo/domain-contacts.txt' -
It's a little over a megabyte in size, and last updated Jan 22.  I
suspect that it's automatically shadowed off whatever database they
feed the root nameservers from (it looks machine-generated to be sure).

Special added bonus, it gives the contacts for each domain...
