I've used dig's zone transfer client to extract zone data from a Windows
DNS server for import into a CMDB, so I imagine you can do something
similar with that. The output from dig is very awkable and shouldn't be
hard to translate into /etc/hosts format.

Something like:

dig -t AXFR <zone-name> @<dns-server-name>

Windows DNS will require "+noedns", not sure about other DNS servers.
