[asterisk-users] Ignoring PRI call?

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

hi all

I have a few boxes in my setup, most connected to one or more PRIs.  
Today, we're making the telco do the number filtering in the switch,  
this number range to this PRI etc. This is all fine, but not too  
flexible, as we're depended upon some switch monkey being available  
to do the job, and sometimes the may mess up.

So, is it possible to do this in asterisk? For testing purposes, we  
may say two asterisk boxes with one PRI each.

So, a few questions:

  - If the call received by asterisk from the PRI is sent to a number  
not in the dialplan, what will asterisk do? Will the call be  
cancelled, or will asterisk signal something back to the switch to  
indicate "dunno about this, try another"?

  - If the call is received by Asterisk from a wildchar extensions  
like exten => _X.,1,......., will it be possible to signal the switch  
"dunno about this, try another" later in the chain? Since Asterisk's  
current dialplan implementation does not scale wery well, we're doing  
sip user/callerid lookups in mysql from an AGI script and the MYSQL  
app from -addons. Anyway, this means we'll accept all incoming calls  
before handling them (not answering, though, just accepting them to  
the dialplan).

Thanks you
