Erik, Your setup is very similar to one of my own, and I started of manually configuring it, creating IAX connections for each site and then using dial plan to route the call. When I looked at Dundi and finally got it working, I have one IAX connection for all sites and the connections are dynamically created. My dial plan also got simpler, as I add sites I add them to Dundi and the dial plan routes all unmatched extensions to Dundi for lookup. For me dundi has reduced the complexity of my dial plan and I have a pair of servers that query everybody and the that pair listed at my remote sites. I am not using it for least cost routing, yet, but so far it has made things a little easier. You might take a look at the article on txaug.net, under hubguru's articles, it is from JR's Astricon 2006 session.

At work, I have 4 branch offices at which I've deployed asterisk. Call termination/origination at each branch office is handled either through a frac PRI or 3rd party SIP provider. Soon, I'll be replacing the legacy PBX at our HQ with asterisk. Each branch office has between 3 and 20 employees, each with their own extension and DID, and at headquarters, we have about 70 people, again each with their own extensions and DID. Handling local and LD calls from all the offices isn't a big deal - just normal call routing for that. My main question is what to do with calls between the offices. Each branch is connected back to HQ with a persistant VPN tunnel - I've tested IAX2 traffic over these tunnels before, and things work great. Since this works fairly well, I envision using IAX trunks for all intra-office calls. So - in this situation, would it be easier to just manage the office dialplan(s) and call routing manually, or would it be worth it to set up dundi for extension discovery?
