There are two ways you might consider doing this:

1) ENUM hook into DUNDi

2) Complete integration of DUNDi in SER


#1 has benefits of quick integration, and wider usage by other 
ENUM-capable devices.  Downsides are that you have to run an Asterisk 
server to "advertise" your number ranges, and you lose some of the 
keyed URI linkages.

#2 has benefits that you can integrate SIP registration status into 
route appearance (very handy in some limited environments), no 
mucking around with possible ENUM DNS leakage, and a quicker 
resolution time.

I'm sure there are additional benefits or drawbacks to both 
approaches, but this is what seems obvious to me.  The ENUM hook 
method has seen some resistance due to fear of the e164 context 
leaking out to the "public" resolvers, which is against the GPA.  In 
other words, a political issue.    The complete integration of DUNDi 
into SER would be a neat module, but fairly complex.
