[Serusers] call routing problem

[Iqbal]

well kind of :-)

the 040600 (alias) is getting picked up, because the 0845 is routing 
there, and the call goes through, hence the lookup on my db already does 
what the stripping would do.

The problem I have is that I need to set a flag based upon the calledID, 
to oute to asterisk, and this is not possible since I am checking my my 
grp table to see if the user belongs to a grp, now in there the 040600 
maps to a group called asterisk.

So if 040600 dials out, it uses is_user_in("From", ast) and set a flag, 
however if I do it in reverse, i.e call coming into the user, then I 
cant really check for anything,  since 0845 will not be in the grp table.
