[asterisk-dev] DNID and RDNIS are not carried across IAX2

[Nir Simionovich]

Well,

  I strongly disagree with this - mainly due to the fact that Asterisk 
does forward CallerID
information. In my view, CallerID, DNID and RDNIS aren't all that 
different and should be
carried forward from one server to another, unless explicitly removed or 
changed on the
channel.

  Think about the Dial application, that automatically carries the 
CallerID from the inbound
call to the outbound call. If that information isn't carried across, 
interconnecting multiple Asterisk
servers into a single mesh will become a horid mess, and I'm confident 
no one wants that.
