[asterisk-users] fast SIP failover (outgoing sIP requests) with 1.2

[Damon Estep]

Try taking to 90 second timeout off

Change
exten =>  _[1-9].,4,Dial(SIP/${enumresult},90)
to
exten =>  _[1-9].,4,Dial(SIP/${enumresult})

a btter method is to set up each office as a unique peer with qualify = yes and then add the peer name to the dial string, like dial(SIP/3035551212 at peername)

if the peer is offline (qualify has failed) the unavaialbe status will come back right away.
