asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Transferred calls CDRs

Hello!

I have been doing some tests with call transfers and I have been looking at
the CDRs that Asterisk generates.

Scenario 1:
A calls B
B answers and does a blind transfer to C (using # key)
C answers and talks with A

Scenario 2:
A calls B
B answers and does an attended transfer do C (using the phone's transfer
key)
C answers, B hangs up, and C talks with A

For scenario 1, the CDR shows only one call between A and C for the whole
duration of the call A->B and A->C.

For scenario 2, there are two CDRs, both between A and C. The first one has
the duration of both calls and the second one has the duration of the second
call (A->C).

Is this the correct behaviour ???

Shouldn't there be two CDRs for scenario 1 ?
And for scenerio 2, the source and destination shouldn't be the same in both
CDRs! The first CDR should be for the call A-B and the second for the call
B-C. Does anybody agree ?

Please give me your feedback. If there is a way to change this, please tell
me. I'm using Asterisk 1.0.7.

Thank you,

Hi, 
when u have transferred call ${EXTEN} and ${DNID} is different.
from my dialplan:

....
....
exten => _[0-9*#].,3,GotoIf($[${EXTEN} != ${DNID}]?1000)
exten => _[0-9*#].,4,Goto(from-sip-user-2|${EXTEN}|1)
....
....
exten => _[0-9*#].,1000,SetVar(EXTENBACKUP)=${EXTEN})
exten => _[0-9*#].,1001,Goto(${DNID}|1002)
;avoid transfer and cf loop
exten => _[0-9*#].,1002,ExecIf($["${RDNIS}" !=
""]|Hangup)
exten => _[0-9*#].,n,ForkCDR
exten => _[0-9*#].,n,AppendCDRUserField(RDNIS=${EXTEN}\;)
exten => _[0-9*#].,n,SetAccount(${ext_account})
;${ext_account} is previously set 
exten => _[0-9*#].,n,SetAMAFlags(billing)
exten => _[0-9*#].,n,Goto(from-sip-user-2|${EXTENBACKUP}|1)
