Not impossible. I think the explanation was that it was ugly. And... 
well... that is.  Now, imagine sorting through a list of 500,000 
possible dialing prefixes (something we have) instead of 3 or 4. Tell me 
that would be clean and pretty without a DB lookup.

Anyone can LCR 2 routes in a dialplan, but that's hardly an effective 
example of LCR.
