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.
