Yaddayaddah. Don't go at this lighthearted. You can use DUNDi for call 
distribution between asterisk nodes and automatic discovery. However, 
depending on how big your site(s) will be, it may be worthwhile to take 
a look at database integration (i.e. the realtime API in asterisk). It 
will in most cases give you a finer level of granularity than DUNDi will.

Correct, same applies for using 'switch' in your dialplan. Once the call 
is gone, it's gone. DUNDi was not designed for that type of 
applications. Maybe you are better served with a good dynamic database 
on multiple servers :-)
