Hello all you Gurus out there!

Please could you explain something to me:

Currently I try to get ENUMLOOKUP() working. Naturally I do all the
testing with my own number.

I registered my number at e164.org
I paid for registration of my number at a registration agent for e164.arpa
(I know, I don't need both. I just did the .arpa registration first and
later discoverd the free .org service....)
Assume my number was +4311234567

"dig 7.6.5.4.3.2.1.1.3.4.e164.org" and "dig
7.6.5.4.3.2.1.1.3.4.e164.arpa" both return NAPTR records.

Now for the less clearer points:

Your'e supposed to register your number without any extension.
If I have some extensions here, how can the calling party get the
correct sip uri to the requested extension?
Do I have to run my own DNS server in that case?

If for example if someone wants to call extension 10, is the
ENUMLOOKUP(431123456710) request forwarded to my local DNS server by the
e164.arpa server? Or how does that work?

Many thanks,
Norbert
