It may not be exactly what you are after but I do something like this:

extensions.conf

HOUSEPHONES=SIP/somepc&SIP/anotherpc&IAX2/desktop&IAX2/someotherdesktop&SIP/sipuraline1&SIP/sipuraline2

; London Number - SIP Inbound provider
exten => 1438645,1,Answer
exten => 1438645,2,Dial(${HOUSEPHONES}|60|t)
exten => 1438645,3,Voicemail(u50)


Each phone listed above also has it's own extention, but the voicemail all goes to 50.  That way I can call any 
extension from anyother inside the house.  But calling 50 directly will make every phone ring.  Any phone not logged in 
will just be ignored and skipped.  The first phone to pick up gets it.  Call parking is on so if there is a need to 
transfer calls from one phone to another it can be done using parking.
