I would implement it in a different way.<br>As you seem to be a seasoned player just a hint here.<br>How about adding local channels as queue members and executing agi in local channel context before actual dial()?<br>Only limitation is, AGI will get executed for each dial irrespective of whether an extension rings or not. But at least you can identify which extension is being dialed. <br>
