If I understood correctly what you need is called "Call path
replacement" which is not currently supported in Asterisk. However, I
contacted Dialogic as their Diva cards seemed to support this
(according to their website).

For that you need chan_dialogicdiva, which at the time I checked it
did support call path replacement but NOT in NT mode. You may ask
again if support has been added.
