Should I use loopback to make a hunt group, or is there a better way?
Hello all, I'm about to use loopback, but given the warnings against its use in the 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 - that's straightforward: create an extension in the dialplan which matches on the hunt group's number, put inside it a bridge command, the dialstring contains the user agents to dial: "{ignore_early_media=true}user/833@mydomain,user/835@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@mydomain,user/835@mydomain:_: {ignore_early_media=true}loopback/202/mydomain" But does anyone know of a better way? Another way of describing this would be: 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.
