Well the only thing you can use is the user channel to resolve the  
target endpoint.  Look at the dial-string in the directory/default.xml  
and you can use that on a per domain or per user...


Example you can have user/mycell at domain.com which resolves to openzap/ 
1/19185551212 but you don't know that its just user/mycell at domain.com
