[Asterisk-Users] New ENUM service, what do you think?

[John Todd]

While I wish the guys at Stealth the best of luck, I'll say again 
that ENUM is _NOT_ the solution for VoIP routing in the current real 
world.  See the mailing list archives for more of my rants on why DNS 
is not the answer for cost-based routing (where "cost" is monetary, 
distance, qos, or any other comparative metric.)

TRIP (RFC 3219) is the answer, but I'm the only one pounding that 
drum, it seems.  If anyone here on the list has $100,000 to put 
together a real programming effort towards getting that implemented, 
y'all let me know.  The longer this waits, the more lame and broken 
become the solutions offered.  <sigh>
