One possible solution is to have one sip account for each _device_, not
extension; say "sip110h" and "sip110s" for the "110"-user.

Then use the "dial" command in your extensions.conf like

exten => _1XX,1,Dial(SIP/sip${EXTEN}s&SIP/sip${EXTEN}h)

This will cause parallel ringing phones. First come first serve.
