An elegant wat to do this would be to have the caller ID and agent the call was sent to stored in mysql (Asterisk can do systems calls to this) and when calls come in do a quick check to the database, if it's matched put it through to the same agent, if the agent is busy it can revert to the general queue - it there is no match then put it straight in the general queue. We could look at doing this for/with you. Email me -

<br>out-of-the-box. You could have a general queue plus a queue per each<br>agent, and you would route the call to each agent based on the caller*id.<br>This might end up spoiling the advantage of a queue, meaning that you
<br>might have three agents sitting idle and a fourth with three calls queued.<br>It would be better to have different agents automatically open a "case<br>ticket" based on the caller*id, so each agent sees the problem.
