Hey all, I have what may or may not be a simple situation. I've read through dozens of forum entries, dozens more list mails, and a handful of "tutorials" for openser, and I'm still missing something I think. I'm not afraid of the documentation, but neither the "core cookbook" nor the modules documentation had enough detail that I could catch on to what's going on.

Let me lay out my scenario, and maybe somebody can point to a particular document or solution I can follow up on.

I have multiple asterisk boxes: four as media gateways with TDM trunks, one feature server (VM), and three registrars. So needless to say, I have a lot of dialplan in there just for calls that stay in my network.

What I'd like is to introduce a single openser box in there, and for any call that any of those asterisk machines gets, it sends it to openser, which then just calls a simple script (which I've already more or less written) to know what to do.

So for example, I own the 555-1000(-1099) DID block DID 555-1000 is registered to machine1 DID 555-1001 is registered to machine2 In openser, I'm envisioning a call like such (php style notation):

my $number = 5551000 in openser: $newdestination = exec('lookupdestination($number)'); now $newdestination is 5551000@machine1 or my $number = 5551001 in openser: $newdestination = exec('lookupdestination($number)'); now $newdestination is 5551001@machine2

Then I can just route it in the normal openser way. So there, my lookupdestination script knows all the numbers in my central database and where they're located, and on an unknown number assumes it's outside our network so just sends it to the gateway as is (5552000@gw1) or so.

Thanks for any pointers at all, dave
