i've noticed that cid_num gets sent down the line as callerid while cid_ani 
is what's written as the source in CDRs, as such, my dialplan for outgoing 
trunks usually has,

Set(CALLERID(ani)=${CALLERID(num)})
Set(CALLERID(num)=123456)

this way, the other side sees a cid of 123456, while the original cid gets 
logged in CDRs.
