Let me clarify further. For calls FROM vitelity you are pretty much
limited to a single context in sip.conf doing IP based matching. Most
equipment will not authenticate to you, and chan_sip currently has no
additional method for separating the accounts into separate contexts.

For calls TO vitelity you should probably have separate contexts.
