PBXs built *on top* of Asterisk (like Gemeinschaft[1]) can already
do that (for SIP). Gemeinschaft allows you to define gateways (SIP
accounts, Zap ports, mISDN ports) and group them to gateway groups
(e.g. 4 PRI spans could form a group). The outbound routing is a
table of patterns (full PCRE), (dow., time from/to, ...) and a
priority list of gateway groups (primary, fallback, ...).
This branch of the thread should be continued on asterisk-users.

Sorry - don't know any other routing modules that are more
powerful. :-)
