Sounds like you are trying to re-implement CEL:

PS: I prefer a dedicated GW-Asterisk which does accounting:

                                               /---trunk1
                                              /
                                             /-----trunk2
 SIP --------> PBX  <--------> GW Asterisk <-------ISDN
phones       Asterisk                       \------ISDN2
                                             \---.......


So, all the transfers happens in the PBX Asterisk. All calls which will
be billed are routed via the GW-Asterisk into the PSTN via several
uplinks or back to the same or another PBX Asterisk. So, I generate CDRs
only at the GW-Asterisk, and as there never happens any transfers on the
GW-Asterisk, those CDRs are always 100% correct (as long as you signal
proper CLIs from the PBX Asterisk to the GW-Asterisk).
