[Asterisk-Users] Rolling dialplan... best practice?

I know it's not the same thing, but put the phones into a queue, and call the queue....maybe...

  I have an Asterisk system for a small office with 12 extensions.  For parts of the incoming dialplan that go to "support"/"sales" we have phones ring various people in an "additive" fashion.  Example:

   

  ----- snip ------

  exten => s,2,Dial(${E25}|18)

  exten => s,3,Dial(${E25}&${E24}|12)

  exten => s,4,Dial(${E25}&${E24}&${E28}|12)

  exten => s,5,Dial(${E25}&${E24}&${E28}&${E22}|12)

  ----- snip ------

   

  This works, but I've just realized that it has the unfortunate side effect of making each extension appearing to get one call for each "Dial" command.  So, ${E25} appears to get four calls if nobody answers it and it goes to voicemail.  ${E24} three calls, etc.

   

  Is there a better way to do this kind of extension plan?

   

  Thanks for any suggestions!
