Sure, take a look at the SetGroup/Checkgroup functions.  Basically, 
you can call SetGroup(groupname) on all incoming calls via the 
dialplan, and then call SetGroup(groupname) and CheckGroup(10) for 
your outbound calls.  If you go over the 10th item it will throw 
you to priority+101 which you can set to Busy.

Check out these functions on the wiki for more info:

CheckGroup - http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+CheckGroup


Also, Please try not to use HTML e-mail on the list. ;)

Hope this helps,
