Re: Send-n, rat holes and real issues

No.

Send-n can't necessarily tell you that unless the ENUM tree is provisioned
with each separate number.  Real systems don't necessarily do that.  Many,
including ours, lets you provision a range of numbers, and you won't be able
to tell if the number is actually valid unless you try it.  That is what I
meant.  The information on number length is not equivalent to working
number, and never could be.
