Well you could use dig or any of the other dns query tools available.

But if your DNS admin has a clue, you will probably find that zone
transfers will only be allowed to  certain hosts and not to just
anyone.

dig can do very comprehensive queries and helps greatly with
troubleshooting, but I'm not sure if it will display a list of
subdomains. I would think that if you could do this it would be quite
a security hole!
