Hi Hendrik,

[Sorry for the latish response. The office was closed for our summer
outing on Friday.]

We do not allow this because the usefulness and semantics of such
measurements is local and we assumed that this can be done with local
resources outside of RIPE Atlas. Also we intended to prevent others
'snooping around' in local infrastructure.

If allowing this for the probe host themselves is something more people
want, we can certainly add it to the road-map.

If this is a one-off, we can probably accommodate you with a "one-time
special".
