asterisk users - Dec 2011 - Which device auto-registered an extension?

Hi all,

In sip.conf:
  [general]
  regcontext = autoreg

  [devabc]
  regexten = 543

creates "exten=> 543,1,Noop(devabc)" in context autoreg when devabc
registers.  But I can't use "exten=> _5XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})"
in the
dialplan, because there's no device SIP/543.  Now I know I can add a line
like "exten=> 543,2,Dial(SIP/devabc)" for each and every device
that uses
regexten, but it would be a lot cleaner to be able to use something like
Dial(SIP/${WHAT_GOES_HERE?}) instead.

So is there a way for the dialplan to determine which device caused SIP to
auto-register an extension?

Not really, unless someone else can come up with something. 

In Asteirsk, the extension hints are the connection from the dialplan to a
device,
used for subscriptions and blinking lamps.

exten => 543,hint,SIP/devabc

then you can use

exten=> _5XX,DIAL(/${HINT})

Which opens up the question on how you enter all the hints...

I know Tilghman added something clever recently to new versions of Asterisk, but
I
haven't used it myself so I can't describe how it works.

Why not try set a variable under each device in sip.conf to the same as the
endpoint name then Dial(SIP/${CustomVar})?
