Pretend we have peer 123456, then put

exten => 123456,2,Dial(SIP/123456)

in your extensions.conf
When phone 123456 becomes available and registers
to the Asterisk, the dialplan will look like:

exten => 123456,1,NoOp
exten => 123456,2,Dial(SIP/123456)

and as you know the dialplan always begin on
priority 1 so if the phone is not registered you
don't automatically move to priority 2.

What I'm curious to know is whether there is a way
to use this with SIP RealTime... there doesn't
seem to exist a setting for both regexten and
regcontext. Any pointers?

After reading the patchy docs on DUNDi, I kind of got the impression that it _might_ be able to do that sort of thing, but the docs where so bad they where useless. And while we're on the discussion topic, why doesn't Digium release some docs on DUNDi? It's their baby after all. It seems to be that almost no one uses it, simply because there's no docs that explain how to do it.
