[Asterisk-Users] Default dialplan??

[Cosmin Prund]

I'll give this one a try, but don't trust me, test it yourself :-)

Of course Asterisk can do it! All you need to do is set up a rule for 
matching ALL extensions in the PBX in it's own separate context and 
include that context into your "normal" context. In the following 
example, asterisk will try matching all extensions in context Normal 
(all extensions defined on *) and, if no match was found, start 
searching the context "secondary_pbx". In my sample this secondary 
context will match any 3-digit number and send it to the other PBX. 
Should work...

[Normal]
include => secondary_pbx
exten => 101,1,Dial(sip/101)

[secondary_pbx]
exten => _XXX,Dial(Zap/g1)
