  Heh. Sorry man, it's been a bad day :(

  I suppose the interpretation of dynamic can be somewhat subjective,
however I tend to think of a text file as static. Dynamic, IMO, would be
more along the lines of manipulating the configuration of the machine
on-the-fly directly.

 The problem with realtime is that not everyone uses it. I'm not trying
to do something specific to my own configuration. I'm updating proxy
software that's used in arbitrary environments, so I can only count on
stuff that everyone has.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though there is a way. I had to resort
to making the users of the software map dynamic agent channels (i.e.
Local/200 at call-agent) to actual device channels (i.e. SIP/200) in the
users configuration file for every single user. I'm sure I'll hear some
grumbling from some of the users I've spoken with in the past with very
large call centers :(

It would have been really cool if I could have dynamically called and
traced the dynamic agents to their actual devices and removed the
headache from the admin .. but .. oh well :(
