[Freeswitch-users] Follow Me and Call Forwarding

[Tim St. Pierre]

You could replace the dial string in the directory.

Instead of doing forwarding in the dialplan, you could specify an 
alternate bridge string.

The default bridge string is normally 
${sofia_contact(${dialed_user}@${dialed_domain})}

but you could specify something else on a per-user basis for in the 
directory.  If you did
${sofia_contact(5243@${dialed_domain})} any calls bridged to this user 
(using the user/extension at domain syntax) would call extension 5243 
instead.  If you want this to be an external destination, you would 
replace the sofia_contact() with a meaningful gateway dial string.

The user/exten at domain syntax is just a macro to look up the user in the 
directory.  You can return whatever you want, it doesn't have to be the 
sofia contact of that user, it could be anything.

Hope that makes sense.
