First my apologies for this repost, my system date got messed up and this post looked like it was sent on Nov 5th :).

One of the problems I generally have with cdr's in my multi-tenant 
hosted VOIP world, is that the src is inexorably tied to the callerid 
field, this makes it a pain when you have a billing system based on TDM 
billing systems that have  not only a src field but an originating src 
field. This is what allows you to know what number placed the call but 
still allow things like no callerid. In a perfect world the fields would 
be src_cid src exten. When calls do not originate from within your 
dialplan (external to internal calls) most of these fields would be null 
or repetitive. I know many of you would say you know the originator of 
the call by the channel, but in a multitenant situation you can't have 
two sip devices named [100] so you use special ID's and have to do 
post-processing to determine that information.
