ENUM is not widely implemented. Each country is supposed to admin its
own PSTN prefix as a subdomain of "e164.arpa", this is, Spain (+34)
would admin the subdomain:

  4.3.e164.arpa

so, DNS NATPR queries like "1.1.2.2.3.3.4.4.9.4.3.e164.arpa" would
arrive to DNS server in Spain handling all the subentries of domain
"4.3.e164.arpa".

Unfortunatelly this is not widely implemented so AFAIK most SIP
providers create their own ENUM DNS server, for example
"e164.sipprovider.com", and they use it internally as PSTN->SIP
resolution for their local customers. That DNS server is just accessed
by the provider SIP proxies.

There are also private ENUM servers shared by various SIP providers
with a peering relationship, something like XConnect:

Perhaps I miss some case. Regards.
