You set their context as the area, so based on your example...

in sip.conf/iax.conf

[1234567]
username=whatever
secret=whatever
context=seattle

then in extensions.conf

[seattle]

exten => 1NXXNXXXXXX,1,goto(mail,${EXTEN},1)
exten => NXXNXXXXXX,1,goto(main,1${EXTEN},1)
exten => NXXXXXX,1,goto(main,1920${EXTEN},1)

[newyork]

exten => 1NXXNXXXXXX,1,goto(mail,${EXTEN},1)
exten => NXXNXXXXXX,1,goto(main,1${EXTEN},1)
exten => NXXXXXX,1,goto(main,1212${EXTEN},1)

then just have whatever under the main context...
