I am sorry. I haven't used 'aliases' and MSILO module. So my knowledge
is very limited on using
these features. We also have a setup somewhat similer to what you had
described, but we have a
plug-in for SER from which we fetch the records from the database,
modify the uri and send it to
Asterisk. This works fine for us and as you said, the ${EXTEN} in
Asterisk dialplan handles all
such numbers.


Hmm... what do you mean about fetching from the database?  I am using
the mysql module and have the subscribers and aliases stored in the
database...  it sounds like I want to do exactly what you are doing -
lookup the alias in the database and then modify the URI.  Do you have
any advice as to how you are doing this?

I think this is why you get the 404 message failure route. Instead try
this:

if ((method == ....
{
    t_on_failure("4");
    t_relay();
    break;
}

Thanks - I'll try this! Although I'll need to check to make sure that I
still do cope with true 404 errors. 

Thanks for all the help,

D
