it sounds like you're wanting to use asterisk's call queueing capabilities. look 
at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+call+queues for more info. Especially 
look at the "Strategies" section on that page, which has a "fewestcalls" 
strategy, which basically rings the extension which has taken the fewest calls 
to date.
