A bit more about the setup since that is probably confusing. I have a PostGIS db setup with a bunch of polygons representing territories. Another DB is setup with all phone numbers approximate latitude and longitude. Asterisk AGI gets the location of the CLI and sends it to PostGIS to see if that point is in a polygon and if so route it to a particular destination number. As far as I know, all destination numbers except one are receiving the correct CLI. So maybe my PRI carrier is mucking with it....?
