[Asterisk-Users] Extensions / Contexts

[Daniel Salama]

I think, in theory, you could do it.

You should be able to create sip users with different contexts and 
carefully configure the contexts in extensions.conf. The only problem I 
see you will have is that you cannot define the same block in sip.conf 
as in your example.

What you could try doing is:

sip.conf
[a_2000]
username=2000
secret=2000
context=company_a

[b_2000]
username=2000
secret=2000
context=company_b

then, in your extensions.conf you could have something like this:
extensions.conf
[company_a]
exten => 2000, 1, Dial(SIP/a_2000)
...

[company_b]
exten => 2000, 1, Dial(SIP/b_2000)

Note, this is DEFINITELY not tested and is only a suggestion.
