[Serusers] Failover PSTN Gateways

E164 normalization I was referring into the document to has (almost) 
nothing to do with ENUM. It has to do with a consistent table with 
destination prefixes in PSTN (country codes e.g. 49171 geman mobile/ 
network numbers to make it more clear). The destinations have names and 
prices you might link to/from external systems. The normalization means 
all PSTN calls will be brought to a normalized form according to E164 
standard. If you dial extra 9 before pst numbers, local numbers without 
country codes or not or you send to the gateway the country prefix or 
add two zero is totally up to each configuration at each provider. LCR 
makes sure it looks up the destination from one consistent table which 
matches what Telco today are used to in building a dest/cost database.
