Or, maybe you can use the existence of a file rather then the content of
it?

exten => s,1,System(test -e /var/lib/asterisk/callerids/${CALLERID})
exten => s,2,NoOp("Normal caller")
exten => s,102,NoOp("special caller")

this way you can add callerids by simply
touch /var/lib/asterisk/callerids/<phonenumber>

does that help?
