[Freeswitch-users] Is Freeswitch a good option for dynamic routing?

[Chris Ziomkowski]

I need to create a simple wholesale switching application that consists 
of receiving a call via H.323 or SIP, running a custom algorithm and 
lookup to translate the incoming DNIS into a new number, and the 
processing this new number through a standard A-Z routing table for 
termination.

The 2 platforms for this application I am considering are Asterisk and 
Freeswitch. Asterisk has the advantage that I'm familiar with its 
structure and configuration, therefore I can modify it and make it work 
quickly. The downside is it is clumsy for wholesale switching and does 
not scale well. Freeswitch seems to be a better bet given that I would 
like to scale this application to several thousand simultaneous calls, 
however I am under a time crunch to get a test application up and running.

Can someone suggest to me if Freeswitch would be a good platform for 
this? If so, where would be the best place to plug in my custom 
translation routine?   Can Freeswitch route signalling only, e.g. 
RTP/media goes directly from gateway to gateway without passing my 
network? If so, how can that be configured?

I apologize for asking without completely studying all the available 
documentation and code, but as I said I am under pressure and I was 
hoping some benevolent individual would point me in the right direction 
to expedite this.

Thank you for any assistance.
