Digium is the creator and the backer of DUNDi. It doesn't show much for their enthusiasm or confidence in the protocol if they can't provide good use-case examples for Asterisk. Given that I am not a C programmer, or a Digium employee, how do you suggest I obtain information that I can use to provide documentation about the inner workings of DUNDi to others? Specifically information regarding precache. Show me somewhere on voip-wiki where it talks about how to configure this.

Yes. The people who knock the people asking the difficult questions are often the ones using it in simplistic situations.

I don't know. Maybe because American media is all ultra ring wing?
