If the DIDs are from different providers, you can specify different 
contexts in [iax|sip].conf.

I prefer to save EXTEN (after any pattern matching nonsense) in a more 
"meaningful" variable like DNIS and then use the "s" extension from then 
on. I find it "cleaner" and more maintainable. For example (typing off the 
top of my head):

[incoming-from-xyz]
 	exten = _678954067x,1,		set(DNIS=${EXTEN})
 	exten = 6789540670,2,		goto(home,s,1)
 	exten = 6789540671,2,		goto(work,s,1)

[home]
 	exten = s,1,			dial(sip/home-phone)

[work]
 	exten = s,1,			dial(sip/work-phone)

If I get another work number, I just add another line to 
incoming-from-xyz. If I change a number, I just change that single line.
