Why do you think rate-litmiting WHOIS isn't also done ? At least in .br, it is.

Nope, just that, and the willingness to put registrant interests ahead of possible research interests.

Couldn't some domains be using A or AAAA instead of MX ? It's old school but still works.

.xx.gov.br <http://xx.gov.br/> are state-level governmental domains, run by a state-level governmental organisation. So each of them might provide you a zone file or not at their discretion, and each of them might DNSSEC-signed or not at their discretion.

blogspot.com.br <http://blogspot.com.br/> is a domain. Any entry there is a hostname in the domain, and since it's owned by Google Blogger service, unlike to have mail service.

Most of .com.br <http://com.br/>, .org.br <http://org.br/> and .net.br <http://net.br/> domains that also happen to have mail service appear at Cisco Umbrella's 1M list, more than at Alexa's 1M list that looks more browser oriented.

Have you tried DNSSECWalk with those smaller zones  ? I remember com/org/net .br being the ones with NSEC3 and the others having NSEC, but I couldn't confirm it now.
