It's not too hard on Asterisk; we've done it in the past, including for 
external numbers. The hardest part is making it reliable with external 
numbers, as it has the bad habit of connecting you to voicemail, PBXs 
which answer then play ringing as they try to connect you to the 
extension, etc. For this reason, we generally recommend using it on 
internal numbers only were we know exactly how the call is going to be 
routed.
