A list is available from nic.ddn.mil via anonymous FTP (/netinfo/hosts.txt).
However this list only contains hosts that have been explicitly registered.
For example, it only has our DNS machine listed for my organization.  We've
never registered any others as we've added them to the net.  And there
really isn't any need to since our Domain Name Server makes them known to
the outside world.

Total net hosts is estimated at around 1 MILLION.  A comprehensive host listing
would be rather unwieldy.
