Andy,

If you're not bound and determined to do it this way, you can use the 
MySQL addon to do a sql lookup for outbound CallerID. 

It works great.  Just before the dial out, we do a query against the 
extension, if there is a match, we set the caller-id to whatever was 
returned on the query, if there isn't a match, we use the main number.

If you'd like more information, let me know,

Doug
