Well, that is all done by mod_lcr.  I was simplifying to narrow down
to just originate.

First we need to see if this is worth pursuing over fixing (modifying,
whatever) loopback to handle bypass media.  If it is, then I'll modify
mod_lcr to deal with the situation in question (comma or pipe sep list
of numbers to call.  mod_lcr would then group as appropriate).

Right now, my bridge is setup in a small javascript script that builds
the appropriate dialstring (using loopback for external calls, user/
for internal calls) and then when doing the loopback call to mod_lcr
to get the dialstring with all providers in the right order.

>>>Perhaps have an on answer hook that tries to enable bypass media (re-invite) after the call is setup?
