[Asterisk-Users] DUNDi Not Able to Handle Complex FailoverSituations

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're looking to do, Aaron has hit the nail on the head here.  You need to set it up so that the secondary, tertiary, etc. boxes are weighted differently.  That way, you need not know or care about the weights directly within the dialplan.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but DUNDi is doing all the failover work for you.
It decides based on the weights what route is best.  If you want one route
to be higher than another, set it up that way.  That's the benefit of
using DUNDILOOKUP to handle it, no more work for you after the initial
routing.

If that doesn't work for you, program the routes directly into the
dialplan instead of using DUNDi, it seems like you'll get better results
that way.  We did that for a while until we decided to move to DUNDi.
Some people will find it more suited to their needs, some won't.
