[SR-Users] Variable $fu Kamailio 3.2

[Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.]

Daniel and Alex,

Obviously I stumbled into a way to do things that has been illegal in 
the past. How do I do this the old way? I have been looking for examples 
and hints online but have only found references to modules and examples 
using Kamailio compiled as OpenSER. I am using Kamailio from RPMs so I 
only have modules and modules_k.

The issue I was having was that my extension (either 3 digit or 7 digit) 
was showing up as the callerid when I made outside calls. I created a 
reverse table that you look up the correct number to show the callee. I 
also add the domain to the query when I have multidomain enabled. On my 
test box for multidomain which I am developing in parallel, my code 
works and $fu is set to what I want and the callee gets what I want them 
to see. It is odd to me that it works on one box with multidomain and 
not the other with multidomain disabled.

Thank you,
Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.
