I think I ran into this issue as well. You can work
around this by VPNing into a different device so you
can get a different source address or there is track
cookie you can remove and then restart the browser to
run the lookup again. But I must caution you in that
if you keep refreshing too fast you will hit tolerance
level on the web script that then locks you out for
the day. HTH.
