try:

exten => _9.,1,SetGroup(voip1)
exten => _9.,2,CheckGroup(1)
exten => _9.,3,Dial(${VOIP1}...)
exten => _9.,4,Hangup()
exten => _9.,103,NoOp()
exten => _9.,104,SetGroup(voip2)
exten => _9.,105,Dial(${VOIP2}...)
exten => _9.,106,Hangup()
exten => _9.,205,NoOp()
exten => _9.,206,Playtones(congestion)
exten => _9.,207,Congestion()
exten => _9.,208,Hangup()
