Here, I've written a perl script that rewrites the actual sip.conf itself (as well as generates a custom myexten.conf file, which is included in the main extensions.conf file.) The perl script can read from whatever datasource you setup - right now, I read from a MySQL database of users, but I know perl can read from an LDAP directory as well. This way, perl sits between Asterisk and the database/directory and does the mapping/translation required, giving more complete control over the sync process. Of course, I wrote this script in the pre-1.2 days of Asterisk, but its still running fine on 1.4.* that I've got in production right now.
