Though not quite the same thing, you can get a list of all the Internet network
numbers and the corresponding network names (e.g., 128.204.xxx.xxx =
ALBNYNET).  There must be a list of second-level domain names (e.g.,
albany.edu) since they are assigned centrally by hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil,
but I don't know if the list is published or not.

You can get the network names list via anonymous ftp to ftp.nisc.sri.com
by giving the command  get rfc/rfc1166.txt .  Be forewarned that the file
is fairly good-sized -- about 550KB.
