Randy,

Try the following:

exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/foo:5061,60,Ttr)

This will cause asterisk to send the call to sip peer "foo".

If you're trying to send the call to a specific extension on host 
"foo.bar", you'll need to do something like this:

exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@foo.bar:5061,60,Ttr)

If the other side is an * box as well, I highly recommend you use IAX2 
and not SIP.
