I have only look quickly at the code, but it seems as if asterisk will 
copy whatever is in the channel variable cid.cid_rdnis for the calling 
channel to the outgoing channel in app_dial unless the channel is set to
forward calls.

I did not see any way to change it directly. Perhaps a new option to dial, 
a new variable to set the outgoing cid_rdnis in dial or making the RDNIS 
pseudo-variable writeable?
