Just write a simple CGI script (running from the Asterisk server) which
looks up the nearest phone from the remote IP address ( $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} in
Perl), and inject a suitably-modified call file into the
folder /var/spool/asterisk.outgoing/ . The file needs to look something like
the below example:
-----8<-----
Channel: SIP/$SRC
Context: $CTXT
Extension: $DEST
Priority: 1
CallerId: $SRC
----->8-----
where $SRC = source number, $CTXT = context and $DEST = destination.
NB, create the file in /tmp/ first then mv it; this way you can be sure
Asterisk will never try to parse an incomplete callfile. If doing this in
Perl, you *may* get away with keeping the callfile under 1 disk block as long
as $| = 0 on the filehandle, but this is by no means portable.
