The "proper" way to link extensions from a database, LDAP, etc. would be
via the switch interface, where you implement canexist, exists, matchmore,
and exec for each channel.  Note how the IAX and IAX2 switches work.  The
problem with this and MySQL is letting MySQL understand Asterisk-style
pattern matching, although I suppose one could do something like:

for 6000:

select * from extens where exten='6000' or exten rlike '[6XN][0X][0X][0X]'

Anyway if anyone knows an easy fix that would be cool.
