So eg. if I've registered 3 different sip providers and an IAX provider, 
plus a couple of landlines what
is it doing?  I guess I'm missing the point somewhere.

The way I understand it is you pass it a phone number and it gives you a 
prefferred route to that number, which may be VOIP and may be POTS or 
from the looks of it MSN and lots of other things (including ldap???!!).

You then pass that result straight into a Dial command, which means it 
could potentially do absolutely anything, including call the chinese 
speaking clock at peak rate.

TBH I'd prefer a web page where you typed the number and it listed the 
alternatives (in perference order if it liked) so I could make the 
decision myself.  Using DNS for this seems to be overkill.
