You can change the context= for your fxo channels in zapata.conf so they
use a context that you have defined in extensions_custom.conf (ie:
change "context=from-pstn" to "context=from-zap1").

True.  AMP >= 1.10.009 has begun moving user dial settings to ASTDB.  A
goal of this is to allow highly customizable dialling behaviour per
extension.  There is still work to be done in this area.  

Incidentally, any changes a user makes to their ASTDB entries will be
applied in real-time (without the need for * RealTime/extconfig).
