There are extremely ugly ways to handle that problem in the way I think you want it handled using Goto and include. Essentially, create two contexts (one for external, and one for internal) and then use Goto(othercontext,${EXTEN},1) at the end of the first one if nothing matches. Put the "new" h extension definition in that new context. Verrrry ugly. I'm sure there is more than one way to address this problem, though, but in the 10 seconds I've thought about it, I didn't come up with any others. :-) JT
Your inheritied context is including the exten => h,... for dial-out &
internal because your sip.conf is pulling both via your "local"
context.
Something like this should fix it:
[local]
include => extensions
exten => _9,....,1,Goto(dial-out,${EXTEN},1)
That will only execute the exten => h,... entry for matched outgoing calls
that use "9".
Hope it helps!!

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Scope of the "h" extension..
I have the following setup..
[extensions]
; all extensions defined here.
exten => 1234,....
exten => 1235,....
[dial-out]
; PSTN dialout config
ignorepat = 9
exten => _9,....
exten => h,....
[local]
; phone context in sip.conf is here..
include => extensions
include => dialout
The question is where will the "h" extension be active?? it appears to
run for ALL, both internal and PSTN calls, not just the calls to the
PSTN.. Is that correct?? is there any way to limit it to PSTN calls??
Later..
