Hi,

This feature is there in order to protect the destinations from too many
measurements by too many users. A related feature that we're working on is
to offer you the already running measurements in such a case -- because
there's a good chance that someone is already doing something similar to
what you wanted, and you can just use those results.

In this particular case, .nz is part of the measurement set of the upcoming
new DNSMON service, which will go public soon. So all .nz DNS servers are
measured already. I'll contact you off-list about the details.

Regards,
Robert
