It can't really be done using Asterisk queues, unless you want to create a large number of queues for every relevant skill factor and have agents join various combinations of these simultaneously--which would take quite a bit of dial plan and/or AGI logic to pull off. Plus, that doesn't scale any given queue beyond one host. I suggest you look into using FastAGI[1] to simulate the queue experience by generating hold music and announcements without actually using Asterisk queues per se. This is quite possible to do, and, this allows you to distribute queues across multiple hosts, as well as distribute calls within those queues by whatever logic you choose. No shoehorning--just write it yourself. -- Alex [1] Yes, FastAGI. Not local AGI. And most especially not in PHP; contrary to a lot of the info out there, PHP could not possibly be a less suitable language in which to write AGI scripts. I don't know who comes up with these lavish heights of mediocrity. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
