[asterisk-users] [Asterisk-Users] Inter-Asterisk Using SIP

[John Todd]

Just a suggestion: have you tried more recent versions of Asterisk  
with IAX2?  I'm uncertain what version you're using, and if it's  
1.2.4, that's getting to be quite old and the problems that you  
reference may already be solved in more recent updates.

In addition, if you're set on SIP, there are features in newer  
versions of Asterisk which allow you to both set and read SIP headers,  
so you can insert values in those headers between Asterisk instances  
which could then be used by the dialplan to split your calls apart  
into different contexts or behaviors.

See function "SIP_HEADER" and application "SIPAddHeader" for the most  
recent versions of Asterisk.
