[Asterisk-Users] Extension Configuration Best Practice

Rich is indeed correct, Asterisk does not yet support multiple registrations
for a single peer entry. Thus when you register the previous registration is
discarded and the new one is used. Thus like he said, the last one that
registered gets the call.
