Ok,

If you had something like this (we're assuming +101 jumping for arguments sake
here):

[outbound]
exten => _9X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@mysipprovider)
exten => _9X.,102,Dial(IAX/myiaxprovider/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _9X.,203,Dial(IAX/myiaxprovider/${EXTEN:1})

Then you could originate a call with the following channel:

Local/90116434555770 at outbound

which would do the whole failover thing for you.

Note that this is slightly simplified.  The jumping behaviour has now been
changed and will require the 'j' option in the latest versions unless you use
gotoif and check the dialstatus.

Normally you'd want to connect the originated call with an extension/context
so that once that number answers it is connected to say an agent or an
application.  This part should be pretty self explanatory.

Make sense now?  Feel free to ask if it doesn't!
