Even if your contexts are fairly good size, 15,000 of them is nothing as far
as the space they will take up in the database or how it will effect query
performance.


Would it not be possible to do something with the Goto app? In each persons

I don't think you can jump to a context itself, only an extension within a
context.

You might take a look at using agi or fastagi for outbound call routing. My
gut tells me that a fastagi app connected to your own database schema would
be a lot more efficient then using realtime.
