asterisk users - May 2003 - Outgoing SIP Groups

How do I setup "groups" for SIP accounts, just like you can do with
outgoing Zaptel devices?
 
Ie, to support multiple concurrent iconnecthere.com calls, I have
several accounts with them. How would I configure asterisk to group the
SIP connections in one call group, and then when a user requests
longdistance dial something like
_1XXXXXXXXXX,2,Dial(SIP/g3/BYEXTENSION@iconnect) have the the first
available SIP iconnect account be used.
 
Thanks,
 
Marcus

You could imagine creating several contexts and using global variables
like this:

[global]
acc1=0
acc2=0
acc3=0

[c1]
exten => _X.,1,GotoIf,$[${acc1} = 0]?2:c2|${EXTEN}|1
exten => _X.,2,SetVar,acc1=1
exten => _X.,3,Dial,SIP/${EXTEN}@iconnnect1
exten => h,1,SetVar,acc1=0
[c2]
exten => _X.,1,GotoIf,$[${acc2} = 0]?2:c3|${EXTEN}|1
exten => _X.,2,SetVar,acc2=1
exten => _X.,3,Dial,SIP/${EXTEN}@iconnnect2
exten => h,1,SetVar,acc2=0
[c3]
exten => _X.,1,GotoIf,$[${acc1} = 0]?2:hangup|1
exten => _X.,2,SetVar,acc3=1
exten => _X.,3,Dial,SIP/${EXTEN}@iconnnect3
exten => h,1,SetVar,acc3=0

You propably need to add some more code to simulate the mutexes.
Or you could do the same with AGI.
