Returning to the original question of this thread: Have you ever looked 
at an LCR implementation instead of building your own Db? I know that i4l 
is not so popular around here, but still this might be of interest:

3.26 feature_lcr: Can isdn4linux do least cost routing (LCR)? 

Yes, this feature is now being supported by isdnlog. What it does is that 
it allows isdnlog to choose your telephone provider when placing a call 
through your ISDN card, depending on the time of day and the current rate 
information. Since isdnlog 4.16 an external script is called (if 
configured) to change various ISP settings (e.g. DNS lookup, proxy 
setup,...). 

Note: the ABC-extensions (s. docu_abc) must be installed. Also, isdnlog 
should always be running (otherwise your dialout will be delayed by 3 
seconds). If the ABC-extensions are not installed, isdnlog prints hints 
to the log file, which provider would have been chosen.


Cheers, Philipp
