if 123 and 456 are registered endpoints, how do I influence their q value?

And lets complicate things more,  what if I wanted to call 123 first, then 
my cell, then 123 again?

Would I solve all this by adding permanent registrations that point back 
to OpenSER for registered endpoints, etc...?  So a user would have a bunch 
of permanent registrations with decreasing q values that point into 
OpenSER, PSTN gateway, Voicemail, etc...?
