check #sboost and open your eyes :) all that does not work as promised yet is: I can't seem to get context includes right MWI is tricky and I don't know how to specify odecs correctly Besides that it works fantasticly, even in chaos DB setup where the extension from he table triggers a ODBCget app :)) On Sat, 2004-06-19 at 13:39, Florian Overkamp wrote: > Hi Michael, > > > -Original Message- > > Hi Sim :) > > you seem to be one of the top candidates as a ast_data power tester :) > > I'm game, tell me more :-) > > > > Here's another scenario I'm working with: I am using > > contexts per user > > > to 'include' the numberranges they are allowed to dial.

Here's another scenario I'm working with: I am using contexts per user to 'include' the numberranges they are allowed to dial. Any suggestions how to do that without a context per user ?

Is there any reason you can't use the callerid="name" in sip.conf instead of a ton of contexts to do this? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Bond Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Thousands of contexts?

Is Asterisk going to crash, or > is it just going to be slow when reloading? > I don't quite understand your Caller*ID dilemma. In your sip.conf, you'd have a block for each user, say [abc123]. That's your random username, yes? The same block would also define the password and other directives. Why can't you simply include the "callerid" directive to set the Caller*ID name and number? The following should do the trick: callerid = "Kevin Walsh" <1234567890> I don't know whether Asterisk would slow down when reloading thousands of contexts, but it sounds reasonable to me - I wouldn't expect it to get any quicker. :-) -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/_/[EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Is Asterisk going to crash, or is it just going to be slow when reloading? You need to learn more about Asterisk, especially power of Asterisk's dial plan. There is absolutely no need for thousands of contexts on one box. We have a tremendous amount of endpoints on our various systems, yet we only have 4 or 5 contexts. If you cannot use the callerid directive in the sip.conf (or equivalent) to set the callerid once and forget it, you can always use astdb to store and have the ability to update callerid in real-time. Then again, you could do what we do and let the customer specify their own callerid, until we receive any complaints then we would simply override it with a callerid directive in the appropriate config file on our system.
