I'd say there's several imperfect options, and no perfect ones.
1) DHCP, which hosts may or may not be using.
2) DNS - look up a list of the hosts within a (sub)domain.
3) Send out a broadcast ping and hope they all respond.
Or try nmap and parse it's results.

If you have full control, I would recommend the second. You could even
cheat by reading a file from /etc/bind or similar.
Depending on what you're trying to do, this could either be wholly
impractical, or an easy solution to an otherwise-difficult problem.
