Just a few ideas...   There are several more advanced methods that could
also be used, but they do not involve passive information gathering ;-)

Try whois to get the IP networks assigned to the target, then do PTR
lookus to gather host names in that zone, and finally forward lookups
on all names retrieved that way. Most of the time this should
give you ~90% of all records in that zone (most notably, CNAMEs will
fall through the cracks).
