There really is no need to get ENUM or DNS SRV records involved.
ENUM is a useless shim that redirects landline numbers to SIP (or IAX)
addresses. DNS SRV records are only really necessary for failover or
if your services are hosted at another location. (I know, thats a bit
over-simplified. Keep going..)
Any softphone could dial a URI such as sip://ke4rap@ke4rap.ampr.org.
I can easily build an extension on my PBX to place a call to
sip://ke4rap@ke4rap.ampr.org when I dial any numeric string I desire
from a numeric-only endpoint (269 for example). This numeric-to-URI
translation for numeric endpoints easily takes place in the dialplan
on the sending end, and should not rely on some new set of numeric
addresses to further complicate things.
On the receive end, a call to ke4rap@ on my PBX (ke4rap.ampr.org)
could be routed to any sort of endpoint, numeric or otherwise.
Now supposed AA4AA would rather not run a PBX? Well, if some nice guy
wants to set up a shared system, we only need to know AA4AA is hosted
on KB3AAs PBX or some shared AMPR PBX and can be reached at
SIP://AA4AA@KB3AA.ampr.org or sip://AA4AA@asterisk1.ampr.org.
This is the very basis of peer-to-peer URI calling. All you really
need is a standard DNS lookup and some idea who you are calling.
This also exists RIGHT NOW. If i know CALLSIGN has a PBX on here and
is set up in DNS, I could call him right now at
CALLSIGN(a)CALLSIGN.ampr.org and the call will route. No other acronyms
other than DNS need to be harmed for this to take place. :)
