If you gave the same alias to multiple subscribers, that's a bit like giving the same username to multiple subscribers, or even having the same URL for multiple websites. How would the computer know whether someone trying to contact ALIAS is trying to contact USER-A or USER-B ? On Mon, 07 Aug 2006 12:16:08 +0100, Ricardo Carvalho wrote

For this to work, I would suggest to go with the forking feature. Create a group with all users from same group and, when a call arrives, create a fork. The first gets the call... Edson.

So long as the original extension is numeric then there is a much easier way to do this, ENUM. Create a private E164 tree (ie. e164.yourdomain.com) and add multiple NAPTR's for the single extension all with the same preference and order. When you call enum_lookup() it will cause the request to fork to all the recipients. -Evan P.S.

My whacked out universe includes a web administration interface that uses 'nsupdate' to manage contacts in a cluster of nameservers running bind. Granted that's not very easy as you now have to run a cluster of nameservers that allow dynamic updates (key exchanges, etc). What I was really referring to is the other dimension of my whacked out universe that includes vim and some text files on any machine that is capable of running bind (which would be any unix derivative) . Take your pick. If you can manage contacts via the mysql monitor then what's so hard about managing some text files that bind uses? Here, some made up nonsense off the top of my head (sip:2612355@domain.com is the original URI); $ORIGIN e164.domain.com. 5.5.3.2.1.6.2 60 IN NAPTR "u" "E2U+sip" "!^.*!sip:user1@domain.com!" 60 IN NAPTR "u" "E2U+sip" "!^.*!sip:user2@domain.com!" 60 IN NAPTR "u" "E2U+sip" "!^.*!sip:user3@domain.com!"
