[Asterisk-Users] Limited Queue Overflow Puzzle

[Steve Totaro]

I want to overflow calls when all of my local agents are busy and send 
up to ten calls to a remote site over TDM (Basically a trunk to trunk 
transfer).  The catch is that after ten calls I want additional calls to 
start stacking up in my local queue and when one of the ten remote 
agents becomes available, I want to send them the oldest call in queue.

Having the remote agents dial into the system as agents is not a 
possiblility, we have to send them as outgoing TDM calls. 

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to put a short 
timeout on the queue in the dialplan and have the next step be a call to 
the remote site with a maximum number of channels (10) and then the next 
step is to put them back into the queue.  Not very clean, I know.

Can anyone offer a better solution?

Thanks,
Steve
