With overlap dialing enabled in Asterisk this should work. We have a 
similar setup. Note that Asterisk is mostly tested with enbloc-dialing 
which seems to be the norm in USA where the numbering plan has a fixed 
length. We have gotten overlap dialing to work correctly except for the 
call records but they are not that important to us. I hope to create a 
patch for that after 1.0 has been released.
