Hi All
Thanks for the pointers - I now have a working solution using local channels
and for the few occasions this needs to happen, about 300 calls in the
20,000 we handle each day I am very happy.
Again thanks for you help
Paddy

Nasir,
You don't need my "permission" to post on a public forum...However,
neither do I, and I took issue with what you said, and found that your
comment about "those who are dealing with high load traffic"
offensive, since it made the assumption that I was just some new guy
who deals with hobby/small Asterisk systems and doesn't know what he's
talking about....Therefore, I made it abundantly clear that I wasn't,
and that I definitely took issue with that statement.
However, I will say that yes, I did mis-take something the OP said...
Paddy:
Now, here's idea I came up with (haven't tested yet, too busy writing
a system for an international interpretation company's telecom needs)
First of all, you should have a separate context for outbound calls
made by internal extensions... so, in THAT context have code to set
the CID to what you wish (you can do logic control and if you're
feeling spiffy you can even lookup what CLID to use based on the
extension making the call).
Second, calls that are being passed from the outside world onto should
pass through a different context, performing pretty much the same
function...
Third, both of THOSE contexts should then pass to a third context that
performs the dialout using the multiple targets...
Let me know if that works...I know I can make this do what you want,
but I'm not trying to do all the work, just point you in a direction,
since I get paid to actually do the work ;-)
Cheers all, and remember, some of us have been doing this a while, and
get grumpy... ;-)
