[Freeswitch-users] Is this an appropriate use of loopback or is there a better way?

[Martin Paterson]

Hello all,

I'm about to use loopback, but given the warnings against its use in teh docs I wondered if there was another way to achieve the behaviour I would like.

I'm making a hunt group: several phones called at the same time - thats straightforward: create an extension in the dialplan which matches on the hunt group's number, put a bridge command inside, the dialstring contains the user agents to dial:

{ignore_early_media=true}user/833 at mydomain,user/835 at mydomain

But what if the hunt group wants to have another hunt group as  a destination? I can do it with loopback within the bridge:

{ignore_early_media=true}user/833 at mydomain,user/835 at mydomain:_:{ignore_early_media}loopback/202/mydomain

But does anyone know of a better way?

In other words can one do a combination of bridge and transfer in one go? Can I bridge/transfer to multiple destinations at once, some of which are user agents or external destinations (user/833 or
sofia/gateway/my-gw/0123456789) and some of which are extensions in the dialplan?

Many thanks,

Martin.
