Right, but in asterisk it is not done this way, you just use dial-plan 
contexts to separate the entities, I have over 200 unique companies 
dial-plans spread over 12 asterisk boxes and every single one of them 
has a base set of extensions that are exactly the same.


What you do is have a master context for incoming calls that matches any 
full dids for the companies, when matched, the call is transferred into 
that customers context. Then in the sip.conf you make sure that the 
context= is set to that customers context, and you are good to go.
