this is what i found out.  yes.

no, i don't put entries in the subscriber table with serctl/serweb,  
we created our own webinterface which is why i actually _have_ the  
sip-domain in the alias table.  don't know, if anybody ever came  
across this issue, but i think it will not be too unlikely in the  
future to have the same number-block in different areas.

maybe this is something the developers should look into.
