Thanks Olle, as always, a useful response :)

In the meantime, I suspect  that the following is the current dialplan
based workaround for calls that come in to 's' because of a default
Registration Contact?

[default]
exten => s,1,Set(DN=${SIP_HEADER(TO):5})
exten => s,n,Set(DN=${CUT(DN,@,1)})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${DN}" = "s"]?:default,${DN},1)
exten => s,n,Hangup()

Comments or improvements anyone?

Thanks again.
Steve
