I haven't tested this (which would require registering with them and obtaining an ID), but CrossRef provides a web service that appears to do what you need. From the [documentation](http://help.crossref.org/using_the_open_url_resolver):

Once you have a username and password, you can construct a query URL for each DOI. You'll then need to invoke that URL. If I were doing this once I'd probably generate a shell script to call `curl` once per DOI and run it from the command line; if I expected to do this on a regular basis I might (coax somebody to) write a nicer client interface.

Note that that API is going to return XML; I presume it's the same XML that you get through the one-DOI-at-a-time web interface that you linked.
