rrmemory isn't ringall, it won't ring all members. But yes - you can
use ringall with penalties.

What you are seeing is caused by status NOT IN USE. You have to set
call-limit in sip.conf for all your phones, to any value, so that
device states work correctly, and queue can know that those phones are
busy. Now you probably can see in CLI that queue is sending second
call to first agent(s).
