I liked most of the way enumlookup.agi worked, just not how equal cost
records were handled, and was somewhat sickened by the number of
invocations of sed & awk (looks like about 64 seds)...so I basically
rewrote it in perl, ripping out some functionality I don't need, fixing
the handling of equal cost records while only sorting them based on
order/priority, and not iax hostname, and only using one external program
(dig).

Now that I've got this working the way I wanted, I'm wondering about a
suggestion a friend made.  Rather than equal cost NAPTRs, would it make
sense to replace those with single NAPTRs using iax names that point to
hostnames with multiple A records (for the various servers)?

How are things like IAX2 trunking handled when an IAX peer entry has a
host=NAME line where NAME has multiple A records for different hosts?
