I've notified the owner of the gateway, and hopefully we'll see it back on-line shortly. In the meantime, I've commented out those gateways. The freenum.org site relies on the kindness of gateway operators to keep the system running, and I need to put some test cases in there to periodically test connectedness, I suppose. I have some test numbers in each nation that has a gateway, but I don't have any automated way of testing it other than seeing what SIP messages I get back. I suppose the best possible test would be a toll-free destination that constantly sends a DTMF sequence so I could match against it with an automated Asterisk process... While I agree that the freenum.org gateways have to be functional for these services to be useful, I would also say that their use is currently "optional", so a failover plan should always be in place at the originating gateway end. Due to the volunteer nature of the project, it is probable that some gateways are full or off-line, so having multiple ENUM replies back at the same priority level would be nice, so that the query would have multiple answers through which the originating gateway could cascade. In the worst case, a failed SIP lookup should just send the call out the usual pathway (PSTN? Paid SIP transit? ...) to the destination. VOLUNTEERS WANTED: Anyone who has spare capacity on their gateway (at least 15 trunks for +1, but any number of trunks >3 for any other nation) is encouraged to contact me off-list to set up an NAPTR entry in the zone for their nation. This is a for-free effort, and there's no obligation other than to give "best-effort" to terminating calls into the toll-free number ranges for your nation. JT
