Once or twice a year we crawl local search engines catalogues
(directories) for all URLS and we dig out all hostnames. Then we try
to resolve each and save the result (Shell, Lynx, bind-utils, cut & grep).

(Other technique is having friends at local DNS registrator :-)

When AXFR transfer fails I use dictionary attacks for subdomains
(Python script + common hostnames dictionary).
