How can I get DUNDILookup to return every single path? It'd be great if they could return the weights for each too, and then I could do my own logic.

But you're still not getting the point of DUNDi.  DUNDi is designed to 
pick the best route.

When you do a dundi lookup on the CLI, it shows you what possible jumps 
there are, in the order that it would choose them.  DUNDi will ALWAYS use 
the first one.

Also, the logic you want to do would involve an unknown size array of 
return values.  For example, let's say you can get to an extension on 4 
different servers.  DUNDi will return something like:

   1.     0 SIP scm1/44198
   2.     1 SIP scm2/44198
   3.   100 SIP sgw1/44198
   4.   101 SIP sgw2/44198

If you return that to the dialplan, you're going to have to do some array 
lookups and parsing in order for any of it to make sense.  Correct me if 
I'm wrong, the dialplan doesn't have any array functionality.

Does that make sense?
