Then you will need some other means of extracting this script name, 
because it will not appear in a channel variable at all.

I can't see any way of doing this without adding an app to chan_sip to 
extract the value for you from its peer list in memory; that is the only 
place it is available.

However, if it was me, I'd store these mappings from SIP peer names to 
script names into the astdb (DBPut/DBGet) or in SQLLite (res_sqllite) 
and not abuse chan_sip as a "database" at all. That does mean a little 
more work on the admin side, though, since you can't manage the 
peer->script mapping in the same place you manage the peer.
