 You can do this in the dial plan via dial plan programming. You can
do it via AGI scripting. There's also an application called
app_followme which I hope will get merged into Asterisk after 1.2 is
released that also does this. So, yes, you can do this.

 This question though is probably more appropriate for the -users list
instead of here as this list is more geared towards the development of
core asterisk and not business applications for Asterisk.
