Exploring DUNDi

If you make a typo, run the dundi flush command from the Asterisk command shell, because entries are cached for the time you specified (cachetime 3600, which is one hour).

Whoever you peer with has to perform the same steps. You can test this easily enough by adding a second Asterisk server to your test lab. Once you succeed in doing this, you know enough to connect to the DUNDi-test network.
