Prior to DNS I gather you'd be looking for a hosts.txt table?
What I love about the Internet is that there always seems to be someone, 
somewhere, who has saved something for whatever reason... or is 
publishing it free of charge.*

Check out the host files listed here: https://emaillab.jp/dns/hosts/

I am sure there are other sources available too.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
