[Serusers] SIP to SIP calls & Asterisk

[Patrick Baker]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the information, but its not set up for multiple domains
its setup for multiple contexts in asterisk.

every user is listed in the subscribers database in format
companyname.user at domain.com domain always stays the same.

We would like to have a user dial 1000 at domain.com and have ser connect
to the applicable owner of that extension on the same context as the
user initiating the call.

ex:  call from companya.ciscophone at domain.com calls 1000 at domain.com,
then ser would translate 1000 at domain.com into
companya.bugetone at domain.com without relaying to asterisk....

also please note that the extensions are dynamic and are loaded from a
db,  so if we wanted to add an extension it wouldnt be viable to do a
ser reload and kick all the users off...

I imagine the only way to implement this is to grab the context the
user is calling from (ex companya) and grab the extension being called
tied to the companya extension and return the sip user name... then
translate that into the uri form of sip:companya.bugetone at domain.com

... if that makes sense


let me know if this is even possible.. its important the domain will
always stay the same.

Thanks!
Patrick
