It seems to me that while ENUM is great, and it
does wonderful things, it doesn't help unless I can use
it to direct a call to a SIP proxy.  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?
