That's exactly what I meant by "simpler" : maybe, you can work around
single-registration but it seems to me that things would be much more
natural with multi-registration : it's up to your hardphone to offer
convenient and flexible behaviour in multi-registration : return BUSY when
it has to, allow per-registration call forwarding or logout, MWI, ...

Snom phones support multline registration.
If Asterisk could also support it ...

Cheers
