Subject: [asterisk-users] how to use qualify times to route calls

I'm using 1.8.3, and have 2 sip providers. Both are set with 
qualify=yes. Each of them sometimes have qualify times 10+ times the 
other. For instance, one will be at 10-15ms, the other at 200ms.

Is there a way I can route an outgoing call to the provider with the 
lower qualify time?

You could do a context using an AGI to do a "sip show peers" and select the
provider from that.  Something like this

[pick_prov]
exten => s,1,AGI(getprov.agi)
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@${BESTPROV},30,m)

getprov.agi does "sip show peers" and gets the qualify time from status.
The low value is returned in the variable BESTPROV.

Should be about 50 lines of PERL or PHP.
