    David,

    You could always right your own directory application (AGI if you
    want) that reads from Postgres. It would be pretty easy.

Hi,

The problem isn't reading from postgresql.  In fact there is app_postgres which work pretty well.  The problem is the Directory app doesn't provide appear to provice access to the extension that it has "found", so when it enters the specified context in extensions.conf, we can't refer to the "incoming" extension.  We use the extension to do our db look ups, so with out it we're stuck. :(
