-The ENUMLOOKUP function is more complex than it first may appear, and
-this guide is to give a general overview and set of examples that may
-be well-suited for the advanced user to evaluate in their
-consideration of ENUM or ENUM-like lookup strategies. This document
-assumes a familiarity with ENUM (RFC3761) or ENUM-like methods, as
-well as familiarity with NAPTR DNS records (RFC2915, RFC3401-3404).
-For an overview of NAPTR records, and the use of NAPTRs in the ENUM
-global phone-number-to-DNS mapping scheme, please see
-http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=ENUM for more detail.
-
-Using ENUM within Asterisk can be simple or complex, depending on how
-many failover methods and redundancy procedures you wish to utilize.
-Implementation of ENUM paths is supposedly defined by the person
-creating the NAPTR records, but the local administrator may choose to
-ignore certain NAPTR response methods (URI types) or prefer some over
-others, which is in contradiction to the RFC. The ENUMLOOKUP method
-simply provides administrators a method for determining NAPTR results
-in either the globally unique ENUM (e164.arpa) DNS tree, or in other
-ENUM-like DNS trees which are not globally unique. The methods to
-actually create channels ("dial") results given by the ENUMLOOKUP
-function is then up to the administrator to implement in a way that
-best suits their environment.
-
-Function: ENUMLOOKUP(<number>[,pointer_type[,options[,zone_suffix]]])
-
- Performs an ENUM tree lookup on the specified number, method type,
- and (optionally) ordinal offset, and returns one of four different values:
-
- 1) post-parsed NAPTR of one method (URI) type
- 2) count of elements of one method (URI) type
- 3) count of all method types
- 4) full URI of method at a particular point in the list of all possible methods
-
-Arguments:
-
-number = telephone number or search string. Only numeric values
-within this string are parsed; all other digits are ignored for
-search, but are re-written during NAPTR regexp expansion.
-
-service_type = tel, sip, h323, iax2, mailto, ...[any other string],
- ALL. Default type is "sip".
- Special name of "ALL" will create a list of method types across
- all NAPTR records for the search number, and then put the results
- in an ordinal list starting with 1. The position <number>
- specified will then be returned, starting with 1 as the first
- record (lowest value) in the list. The service types are not
- hardcoded in Asterisk except for the default (sip) if no other
- service type specified; any method type string (IANA-approved or
- not) may be used except for the string "ALL".
-
-options = optional specifiers.
- c = count. Returns the number of records of this type are returned
- (regardless of order or priority.) If "ALL" is the specified
- service_type, then a count of all methods will be returned for the
- DNS record.
- <integer> = The record in priority/order sequence based on the
- total count of records passed back by the query. If a service_type
- is specified, all entries of that type will be sorted into an
- ordinal list starting with 1 (by order first, then priority).
- The default of <options> is "1"
-
-zone_suffix = allows customization of the ENUM zone. Default is e164.arpa.
-
-
-EXAMPLE USES:
-
-Let's use this ENUM list as an example (note that these examples exist
-in the DNS, and will hopefully remain in place as example
-destinations, but they may change or become invalid over time. The
-end result URIs are not guaranteed to actually work, since some of
-these hostnames or SIP proxies are imaginary. Of course, the tel:
-replies go to directory assistance for New York City and San
-Francisco...) Also note that the complex SIP NAPTR at weight 30 will
-strip off the leading "+" from the dialed string if it exists. This
-is probably a better NAPTR than hard-coding the number into the NAPTR,
-and it is included as a more complex regexp example, though other
-simpler NAPTRs will work just as well.

-Example 1: Simplest case, using first SIP return (use all defaults
-except for domain name)
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,,,loligo.com)})
- returns: ${foo}="2203@sip.fox-den.com"
-
-Example 2: What is the first "tel" pointer type for this number?
-(after sorting by order/preference; default of "1" is assumed in
-options field)
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,tel,,loligo.com)})
- returns: ${foo}="+12125551212"
-
-Example 3: How many "sip" pointer type entries are there for this number?
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,sip,c,loligo.com)})
- returns: ${foo}=3
-
-Example 4: For all the "tel" pointer type entries, what is the second
-one in the list? (after sorting by preference)
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,tel,2,loligo.com)})
- returns: ${foo}="+14155551212"
-
-Example 5: How many NAPTRs (tel, sip, mailto, etc.) are in the list for this number?
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,ALL,c,loligo.com)})
- returns: ${foo}=6
-
-Example 6: Give back the second full URI in the sorted list of all NAPTR URIs:
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+13015611020,ALL,2,loligo.com)})
- returns: ${foo}="tel:+14155551212" [note the "tel:" prefix in the string]
-
-Example 7: Look up first SIP entry for the number in the e164.arpa zone (all defaults)
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(+437203001721)})
- returns: ${foo}="enum-test@sip.nemox.net" [note: this result is
- subject to change as it is "live" DNS and not under my control]
-
-
-Example 8: Look up the ISN mapping in freenum.org alpha test zone
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(1234*256,,,freenum.org)})
- returns: ${foo}="1234@204.91.156.10" [note: this result is subject
- to change as it is "live" DNS]
-
-Example 9: Give back the first SIP pointer for a number in the
-enum.yoydynelabs.com zone (invalid lookup)
-exten => 100,1,Set(foo=${ENUMLOOKUP(1234567890,sip,1,enum.yoyodynelabs.com)})
- returns: ${foo}=""
-
-
-Usage notes and subtle features:
-
- a) The use of "+" in lookups is confusing, and warrants further
- explanation. All E.164 numbers ("global phone numbers") by
- definition need a leading "+" during ENUM lookup. If you neglect to
- add a leading "+", you may discover that numbers that seem to exist
- in the DNS aren't getting matched by the system or are returned with
- a null string result. This is due to the NAPTR reply requiring a
- "+" in the regular expression matching sequence. Older versions of
- Asterisk add a "+" from within the code, which may confuse
- administrators converting to the new function. Please ensure that
- all ENUM (e164.arpa) lookups contain a leading "+" before lookup, so
- ensure your lookup includes the leading plus sign. Other DNS trees
- may or may not require a leading "+" - check before using those
- trees, as it is possible the parsed NAPTRs will not provide correct
- results unless you have the correct dialed string. If you get
- console messages like "WARNING[24907]: enum.c:222 parse_naptr: NAPTR
- Regex match failed." then it is very possible that the returned
- NAPTR expects a leading "+" in the search string (or the returned
- NAPTR is mis-formed.)
-
- b) If a query is performed of type "c" ("count") and let's say you
- get back 5 records and then some seconds later a query is made
- against record 5 in the list, it may not be the case that the DNS
- resolver has the same answers as it did a second or two ago - maybe
- there are only 4 records in the list in the newest query. The
- resolver should be the canonical storage location for DNS records,
- since that is the intent of ENUM. However, some obscure future
- cases may have wildly changing NAPTR records within several seconds.
- This is a corner case, and probably only worth noting as a very rare
- circumstance. (note: I do not object to Asterisk's dnsmgr method of
- locally caching DNS replies, but this method needs to honor the TTL
- given by the remote zone master. Currently, the ENUMLOOKUP function
- does not use the dnsmgr method of caching local DNS replies.)
-
- c) If you want strict NAPTR value ordering, then it will be
- necessary to use the "ALL" method to incrementally step through the
- different returned NAPTR pointers. You will need to use string
- manipulation to strip off the returned method types, since the
- results will look like "sip:12125551212" in the returned value.
- This is a non-trivial task, though it is required in order to have
- strict RFC compliance and to comply with the desires of the remote
- party who is presenting NAPTRs in a particular order for a reason.
-
- d) Default behavior for the function (even in event of an error) is
- to move to the next priority, and the result is a null value. Most
- ENUM lookups are going to be failures, and it is the responsibility
- of the dialplan administrator to manage error conditions within
- their dialplan. This is a change from the old app_enumlookup method
- and it's arbitrary priority jumping based on result type or failure.
-
- e) Anything other than digits will be ignored in lookup strings.
- Example: a search string of "+4372030blah01721" will turn into
- 1.2.7.1.0.0.3.0.2.7.3.4.e164.arpa. for the lookup. The NAPTR
- parsing may cause unexpected results if there are strings inside
- your NAPTR lookups.
-
- f) If there exist multiple records with the same weight and order as
- a result of your query, the function will RANDOMLY select a single
- NAPTR from those equal results.
-
- g) Currently, the function ignores the settings in enum.conf as the
- search zone name is now specified within the function, and the H323
- driver can be chosen by the user via the dialplan. There were no
- other values in this file, and so it becomes deprecated.
-
- h) The function will digest and return NAPTRs which use older
- (depricated) style, reversed method strings such as "sip+E2U"
- instead of the more modern "E2U+sip"
-
- i) There is no provision for multi-part methods at this time. If
- there are multiple NAPTRs with (as an example) a method of
- "E2U+voice:sip" and then another NAPTR in the same DNS record with a
- method of ""E2U+sip", the system will treat these both as method
- "sip" and they will be separate records from the perspective of the
- function. Of course, if both records point to the same URI and have
- equal priority/weight (as is often the case) then this will cause no
- serious difficulty, but it bears mentioning.
-
- j) ISN (ITAD Subscriber Number) usage: If the search number is of
- the form ABC*DEF (where ABC and DEF are at least one numeric digit)
- then perform an ISN-style lookup where the lookup is manipulated to
- C.B.A.DEF.domain.tld (all other settings and options apply.) See
- http://www.freenum.org/ for more details on ISN lookups. In the
- unlikely event you wish to avoid ISN re-writes, put an "n" as the
- first digit of the search string - the "n" will be ignored for the search.

-==EXAMPLES==
-
-All examples below except where noted use "e164.arpa" as the
-referenced domain, which is the default domain name for ENUMLOOKUP.
-All numbers are assumed to not have a leading "+" as dialed by the
-inbound channel, so that character is added where necessary during
-ENUMLOOKUP function calls.
-
-; example 1
-;
-; Assumes North American international dialing (011) prefix.
-; Look up the first SIP result and send the call there, otherwise
-; send the call out a PRI. This is the most simple possible
-; ENUM example, but only uses the first SIP reply in the list of
-; NAPTR(s).
-;
-exten => _011.,1,Set(enumresult=${ENUMLOOKUP(+${EXTEN:3})})
-exten => _011.,n,Dial(SIP/${enumlookup})

-;
-; end example 1
-
-; example 2
-;
-; Assumes North American international dialing (011) prefix.
-; Check to see if there are multiple SIP NAPTRs returned by
-; the lookup, and dial each in order. If none work (or none
-; exist) then send the call out a PRI, group 1.
