[Users] OpenSER and Asterisk

[Iqbal]

Okay, that sounds similar to my setup, all my sip to sip are within ser, 
only voicemail etc go through asterisk, although I dont put Sip to pstn 
through asterisk either...so we differ there.

In the latest version (beta) of asterisk you can get alot of sip header 
info per call in the dial plan, I havent installed it, but its one of 
the major features of it. The context problem is a problem, I use 
asterisk to do virtual PBX solution, however to do this I simlply fire a 
mysql query based upon the callid, and select the context entry, and 
then goto the context that is matched. This I will replace when beta 
becomes stable.

If you havent see if you can pull these fields from the latest asterisk, 
if you cannot you could do it via mysql in the dialplan. I think it 
makes better sense to just have one entry into sip.conf, and then direct 
into one main context and then include/goto the others based upon 
that...but I have been wrong in the past :-)
