[asterisk-users] Calls to sip extensions not defined

[Stefan Schmidt]

hello,

why do you build a realtime configuration loading the sip users and 
extensions from a database?

if you want to use the username as extension it would be quit simple 
looking like this:

exten => _X.,1,Select user from DB which has ${EXTEN}
exten => _X.n,GotoIf(Uservar = ""?nouser)
exten => _X.n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN} or userval from db,60)
exten => _X.,n,Voicemail(${EXTEN} or userval from db)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup

exten => _X.,n(nouser),Playback(no_user_found)
exten => _X.,hangup

i am using this system on several servers serving more than 7000 active 
users which more functionality than voicemail and sip dialing.

if you are interested in this solution give me a mail and i could send 
you a copy of the config files and db structure you need.

best regards
