It's actually not quite that easy... not without breaking the rules anyway. What you need to do is contact Register.com and purchase their whois database. They are required by ICANN regulation to sell it to you for not more than $10k. Zone files won't help you with the particulars. You would still need to get the whois information. Doing it on your own for commercial purposes would be whois mining and could open you up to legal ramifications. Of course, IANAL. Just my $0.02, -dm
