asterisk users - Mar 2007 - How to best manage my dial plans as the continueto grow, and grow, and grow....

I don't think "very carefully" was the answer that the original
poster
was looking for.

I would suggest one of the multi-tenant GUIs out there, or map out your
call flow in a diagram, convert your diagram into the dialplan, then
test, test, test.  Make sure to test everything, including invalid
extension, #, timeout, etc...

Another strategy is to use a GUI on a dev box and then copy the
resulting conf files over to your production system and modify as you
see fit.
 
Thanks,
Steve
