bind installation that would forward requests to the right party.

I was excited about an enum movement a few months ago. Would enum work if someone volunteered to forward requests? I think I can build a bind installation that would forward requests to the right party.

Is anyone doing something like that? I'd do it. ---greg Juha Heinanen wrote:

I've been waiting for a year now for .arpa (or someone) to do the root enum service. Do we really need to wait? Can't I put together a forwarding server that forwards your ENUM lookup to your server? I envision building a forwarding server. Then anyone that has an ENUM server can 'register' thier authority with my forwarding server. When I get an enum lookup (for a e164 number) I forward it to the correct ENUM server. That would give us one ENUM server to query for anyone's e164 number, and it gives the authority on the number to the ITSP (or whoever). I have been using ENUM internally for some time. The SER ENUM support is great, it works...I'd just like to be able to deliver a call to, for instance, fwd. Of course I can set up a prefix and say 'if the first 7 digits are 1010393' then send it to fwd.pulver.com. Something much more elegant would be to do a ENUM lookup at enum.neutralhost.com. I would be willing to put a neutralhost.com together and forward ENUM requests to the appropriate ENUM DNS server is anyone is interested. I feel like I must be missing something? ---greg
