Hello everyone, I playing around with ENUM and have configured * to query a few sources for testing purposes (fierymoon, e164.arpa, e164.org). I'd like to know if there is a way to query these servers manually (ie outside of asterisk via nslookup or equivalent) to find out if particular exchanges are listed with wildcards, so as to terminate calls to those prefixes (I'm not trying to query for specific end-user telephone numbers). I've seen the syntax of the NAPTR records indicating that an '*' represents the wildcard but I'm not sure how to manually query using one...I've tried nslookup, directed at e164.org and using queries like '800', '1800', '800*', '1800*' with no luck (I used a toll free prefix hoping that it be likely to offer a response.... If this isn't possible, is there a resource available dedicated to listing prefixes available via ENUM for the purposes of low cost routing?

Never saw an answer to your question. I finally figured it out: Using nslookup: separate the digits of the number you are looking for by periods and reverse the numbers. So, 1234567890 would be: nslookup > set type=ANY > 0.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.e164.org Using dig dig 0.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.e164.org ANY These will both give back cryptic answers but, you will see your URL in there somewhere. Hope this helps. Rick Marty Mastera wrote:> Hello everyone, > > > > I playing around with ENUM and have configured * to query a few > sources for testing purposes (fierymoon, e164.arpa, e164.org).
