Request a list of hosts from a DNS server

[Bowser17]

Is there a way to request a DNS server so that it provides all of its
entries? Basically i have a closed system that has entries of existing
machines on it, and i need to figure out how to discover them. I could
ping, but guess how long that would take... Any other suggestions on
how to do this discovery? I am only concerned about windows boxes, but
in the future maybe any network device.
