Thank you for clearing that up. I thought of RDNIS but have never needed or used it so I was not really sure what it was.
Last time I looked at the wiki, the entry for RDNIS simply said "Referring DNIS" or something to that affect, with no explanation of usage. Now its usage and purpose makes sense. I see the wiki has MUCH more info on RDNIS now.
