Personally, I'm taking the same basic information and using it to 
produce a dialplan that looks kind of like this:

   exten => _206200XXXX,1,Macro(dialanalogwithfallback)
   exten => _206202XXXX,1,Macro(dialanalogwithfallback)
   exten => _206203XXXX,1,Macro(dialanalogwithfallback)
   exten => _206204XXXX,1,Macro(dialanalogwithfallback)
   exten => _206205XXXX,1,Macro(dialanalogwithfallback)
   ...

   exten => _1888NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dialanalogwithfallback)
   exten => _888NXXXXXX,1,Macro(dialanalogwithfallback1)
   ...

   exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Macro(dialnufonewithfallback1)
   exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Macro(dialnufonewithfallback)


Basically, I grab all of the local areacode/prefix sets and send them 
out my analog line, and then send everything else out NuFone.  The user 
doesn't need to understand which numbers are local and which aren't, 
they can just dial the 10-digit number with or without a '1' and the 
cheapest thing will happen.
