Don't parked domains exist on a registrar owned IP? I would think a
list could be built from spending some time contacting each registrar
(http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html). ;-)
Or if you didn't mind over-compensating, you could at least assume that
"Various Registrars" listed here:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space will probably contain
the registrar's public sites as well as hosted domains. Just my $.02
