Well this is really an implementation question. If your data was in a database 
you could use func_odbc to check if the DID was local.

You can check with VALID_EXTEN() to see if a particular extension exists 
locally. That's check the databse, so if you have a context that contains a list 
of your local DIDs you can check with that function.

If the DIDs are available as a list on a webpage you can use func_curl.

Using the DB_EXISTS() function could be used if storing in the Asterisk database.

Those are some options.

Leif.
