[Asterisk-Users] Call Queue Question

When I first started looking at a similar problem started out on the same
path with app_queue but even having access to a friend of mine who actually
help write some of the Queue code we decided it wasn't the right tool for
the job. We approached this a little differently using valetparking and agi.
This may not be exactly what you are looking for since my thoughts were
around trying only 1 number with a required response to bridge but most
likely it could be adapted.
