If I understood what you're trying to accomplish, try something like
this.

In sip.conf, define each spa3k something like this:
[3021]                  ; PSTN side of SPA3000
type=friend
host=dynamic
username=3021
secret=myspa1
context=from-sip
canreinvite=no
group=17
pickupgroup=2
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=216.21.194.0/255.255.255.0

and be sure to include "group=17" in each spa3k definition.

Then in extensions.conf, use a dial statement like this:

exten => _9.,1,Dial(SIP/g17/${EXTEN:1}

Pick whatever group number you want instead of =17 in the above.
If I recall correctly, you can have up to 32 groups (or something
like that).

When the spa3k first hit the market, someone recommended using port
5060 and 5061 in the spa definitions. I have never had to do that
with any spa3k. Rather, I leave both the fxs and fxo definitions
in the spa3k default to 5060 and use different userid & secrets
for the fxs and fxo definitions. The above definition for x3021
is the actual one in use right now, which functions correctly.
I've added the "group=17" in the above as an example; I don't
actually use that right now (for different reasons).
