asterisk users - Jan 2007 - SIP phones at multiple locations

Each employee has a Polycom phone at his desk at the real office as well 
as a Polycom at his home office.

I'd like a call to the employees extension to ring both phones.  I'd 
also like one entry in the buddy list for each employee, and the buddy 
list to indicate he was on a call no matter which phone was being used.

Should I do this in the dial plan, or should I register each phone on 
the same SIP userid?  Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
Mike

Over my experience with 1.0 and 1.2 branch, if you register both phones 
the same SIP account and you will call it then both phones will ring, 
however, from reading here and there I heard mixed feedback about it so 
I just dedicated an account for each phone and I dial both of them at 
the same time until one answers (& in Dial()).
