No, I mean specifying the group in your zapata.conf file and then 
changing your dial statement to dial out like "Dial(ZAP/g0/${EXTEN}) the 
g0 refers to group zero.  If specify a channel to belong to group=1 then 
it will not be used for outbound.  Inbound should work as normal as long 
as the channel has the same context as group 0.
