[Asterisk-Users] Realtime Static/Dynamic Preference

[Douglas Garstang]

Actually, who says this is supposed to work anyways? When Asterisk fails to connect to the database when querying a number, does it have the logic to then fail over and try the same number in contexts that follow? If it doesn't, then there's no point.

Yes, I tied something like this. I included the database context first (the one that has the realtime switch) followed by the context that has the extensions locally. I shut the database down and Asterisk returns fast busy when dialling the number. Doesn't appear to work.

[OffNet]
#include "inc/OffNet/master.conf"

[OnNetFlat]
exten => 3250071,1,Dial(SIP/a00090101,20,tr)
exten => 3250072,1,Dial(SIP/a00090201,20,tr)
exten => 3250073,1,Dial(SIP/a00090301,20,tr)

[OnNetDB]
switch => Realtime/OnNet at extensions

[OffNet]
#include "inc/OffNet/master.conf"

[Master]
include => OnNetDB
include => OnNetFlat

[c_a00090101]

This is true in general for Asterisk dialplans, it has nothing to do 
with Realtime.

Extensions defined in the context itself are always searched before any 
included contexts or switches. If you want to control the search order, 
you must put _all_ your extensions into separate contexts (by type or 
whatever other grouping you wish) and then use a 'master' context with 
include/switch statements in the order you wish them to be processed.
