AFAIK, the CFWDALL option of the SIP fw send a "temporarily moved"
message back to the caller with the "new" address to call. This can fail
for a lot of reasons.
I would recommend using 7940s with the native Skinny firmware and
chan_sccp by Sergio Chersovani. Chan_sccp not only supports call
forwarding but a lot more and only with the Skinny image, you can use
all the features, the phone have.
You can read a bit more at http://chan-sccp.org/

Stefan
