Hi N. !

Thanks for your answer.

Either I don't understand what you want to tell me or this thread slowly
drifts away from my original question.

My original question was:

If you "own" a telephone number which connects to your company and you
have a PBX (like asterisk) and some extesniosn behind that, how/where do
you enum-register each extension so that each extension can be reached
"from outside" by a SIP uri?

Meanwhile I managed to speak to a technician at my-enum.at, which is my
registrar at e164.arpa. He *comfirmed* my original assumption:

If you have a telephone number and want to paticipate in enum, you have
to register that number at - for example - e164.arpa.

If you operate extensions "behind" that number and you want them to be
reachable too, you have to run your own DNS server and register this
server at e164.arpa. This server is naturally under your responsibility
and you "manage" all your extension yourself.

It is works exactly like any other DNS resolution.

Norbert
