<p>Hi Matt,</p>
<p>That's somewhat closer to what I do in my dialplan as well. But Dan apparantly wants to add new contexts in his `extensions` table.<br></p>

<br>
We set up dialplan code in a non asterisk part of MySQL called "routing<br>
types".<br>
<br>
When a customer selects a DDI number they can choose a routing type to<br>
use with it.<br>
<br>
These routing types allow for variable substitution - i.e. if someone<br>
adds the routing type "Direct Routing With Failover", there is a<br>
variable with this type called failover routing.<br>
<br>
The call is then sent to their SIP or IAX2 device (if not on the same<br>
machine that has the DDI number it uses DUNDI to find the appropriate<br>
machine). If somebody is unavailable on all machines, it sets the<br>
account code to the customer and goes to the outbound context for dialling.<br>
<br>
The difference is that in the routing type we don't use extensions (just<br>
applications).<br>
<br>
When someone adds the routing type to their DDI realtime extensions are<br>
created with extension 5551234 (or whatever their DDI number is) and<br>
priorities which increase. It makes some things a bit harder, but you<br>
can always use labels and the read application.<br>
