Hey Stephen,

This is not purely an Asterisk or server-side issue, and it's not
particularly simple to solve either. It would require changes on both
the IP-PBX side as well as firmware in the phones. Asterisk would need
to insert info in the call header to state that it is a call is coming
in to a ring group - do not record this in the phone's call history.
So, the phone's firmware would likely need to be modified to
understand such a message. After that, if the call was unanswered,
Asterisk would need to send a SIP message of some sort to the phones
in the ring group to alert them that the call was missed. At this
point, you're back in a similar seat to where you started really. How
would Agent Foo know if Agent Bar already returned the missed call?

Just my thoughts on the matter...
