OK, let me get this straight.

You want the phones on the SAME server to hit the queues on THAT server 
only.  Right?

If that's right, then why use DUNDi for the queues, just set up an 
extension (i.e. the queue entry point) that goes straight into the queue 
instead of using DUNDi for it, which adds more logic to something VERY 
simple.  Since the phones are registered to that server, obviously they 
will drop into the local queue and not some random one.

You're making something dynamic that really shouldn't be dynamic at all. 
When the failover happens, the new primary server will have the queue set 
up, and anyone calling in will be calling into the queue on that server.

Now, if you're calling in from another server, i.e. someone outside 
calling in, you can then use DUNDi with weights to drop them onto the 
right server, but that's another story.

Finally, in order for the LOCAL server's DUNDi response to show up, you 
have to add the server to dundi.conf.  So, so pbx1 has to be in pbx1's 
file, just like the other servers do.

Make sense?
