Yes, that's why you provide the technology part (SIP/, IAX/, DAHDI/)

If the target device has a forward configured, I believe Asterisk will 
dutifully ring the forward number like it was told, but could be wrong.

Otherwise, it'll only go to voicemail, in asterisk, if you tell it to in 
the dialplan. Could it be going to voicemail on a forward somewhere?

In my experience, that too should not be a problem. I've got the same 
dial command structure, ringing multiple SIP/extensions in one dial 
command. I have some instances where the SIP entry in sip.conf no longer 
exists, and some instances where the device is not registered, and 
asterisk just displays a warning and continues on.

I don't think so. At least I don't see that.
