+DUNDi is essentially a trusted, peer-to-peer system for being able to
+call any phone number from the Internet. DUNDi works by creating a
+network of nodes called the "DUNDi E.164 Trust Group" which are bound by
+a common peering agreement known as the General Peering Agreement or
+GPA. The GPA legally binds the members of the Trust Group to provide
+good-faith accurate information to the other nodes on the network, and
+provides standards by which the community can insure the integrity of
+the information on the nodes themselves. Unlike ENUM or similar
+systems, DUNDi is explicitly designed to preclude any necessity for a
+single centralized system which could be a source of fees, regulation,
+etc.
+
+Much less dramatically, DUNDi can also be used within a private
+enterprise to share a dialplan efficiently between multiple nodes,
+without incurring a risk of a single point of failure. In this way,
+administrators can locally add extensions which become immediately
+available to the other nodes in the system.

+\section{DUNDIQUERY and DUNDIRESULT}
+
+The DUNDIQUERY and DUNDIRESULT dialplan functions will let you initiate
+a DUNDi query from the dialplan, see how many results there are, and access
+each one. Here is some example usage:
+\begin{astlisting}
+\begin{verbatim}
+exten => 1,1,Set(ID=${DUNDIQUERY(1,dundi_test,b)})
+exten => 1,n,Set(NUM=${DUNDIRESULT(${ID},getnum)})
+exten => 1,n,NoOp(There are ${NUM} results)
+exten => 1,n,Set(X=1)
+exten => 1,n,While($[${X} <= ${NUM}])
+exten => 1,n,NoOp(Result ${X} is ${DUNDIRESULT(${ID},${X})})
+exten => 1,n,Set(X=$[${X} + 1])
+exten => 1,n,EndWhile
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{astlisting}
