archive.org web harvests include at least some DNS details for the content
they harvest. I'm not sure how comprehensive it is and I'm pretty such that
there isn't a tool for easily exploring it.
Having said that, there are some significant organisations which have yet
to embrace the digital yet, which makes DNS tracking of their structure
challenging.
