I'm sure there are better ways to get started than the domain names, but if
you need a list of
com, org, and edu visit <address below> for other domains, I expect there
are similar sites.

ftp://rs.internic.net/netinfo/

Specifically
ftp://rs.internic.net/netinfo/domain-info.txt
is just the names. Watch your parsing as some run together.
e.g.,
------
07975.COM 0NE.COM
1-411.COM 1-800-24-BANKING.COM1-800-CAR-SEARCH.COM1-800-CARIBE-1.COM
---------

...netinfo/domains.txt might also be useful

Not knowing how new you are, I'll add this: make sure you know how to use
whois to turn a domain name into a
person. This is how angry Webmaster will track you or your service provider
down. Knowing what name comes up when someone converts your IP address can
be very useful.
