Hello,
This is question on PBX behavior, what is the right thing to do, and how do
PBX's generally behave.
If a user on a phone, dials a number, which happens to be configured on the
same phone system (for example another tenant), there are two options:
1. The PBX notices this, and directly connects the phone to the DID on
that system (breaking separation of tenants)
2. The PBX sends the call out on the SIP trunk, and the provider-routing
sends the call back as an incoming call.
What are the pros and cons of each option from the SIP provider point of
view?
How do PBX's generally behave?
Thanks,
Antonio
PS: I reposted, because the original question was apparently not phrased in
a clear way.

I guess the proper answer is: this is an option of the
dialplan of the pbx.
But based on experience so far, the pbx doesn't sent the call out to a
provider when the call is to another extension in the same pbx. More, in
many cases there is not 1-to-1 relation between pbx extensions and PSTN
numbers. Typically a pbx has more extensions than PSTN numbers. PBX
extensions are short numbers allocated as needed, while PSTN numbers are
bought based on estimation of use, being mappend to some internal pbx
extensions.
Cheers,
Daniel

(a bit late but maybe still interesting)
I always keep the call local to my environment, but not local to a
single PBX. E.g:
PBX1---\
\
PBX2----GW----- TRUNK ------------- PSTN-Provider
/
PBX3---/
Calls which are internally to a customer stay on the PBX (as these are
not charged usually).
Calls between my customers are always routed to my "Gateway", which
decides the routing, e.g. sends the call back to the same PBX or some
other PBX (for local DIDs) or to the PSTN termination provider.
This way I always have the same routing and CDRs regardless if the user
is on the same PBX or some other. For billing I only use the CDRs
generated by the "Gateway" SIP server (I use Asterisk).
In a small setup this may seem a bit complicated. But you soon may have
multiple PBX servers (lots of customers, different PBX software versions
....).
