Funny I was just looking at the following thread, looks like it might work.

Rotate or make sure the line you are dialling out on isn't in use before 
you try and use it?  Lookup setgroup/checkgroup on the Wiki if it's the 
latter -

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+SetGroup

Allows you to create logical groups for just about anything, check 
whether the groups are full & perform conditional steps, etc.  Can post 
sample syntax if you're interested.

Groups for each trunk and check the dial plan groupcount and cycle
thru the trunks
or keep a list of trunks in a DB and just loop thru that first call
route 1 second route 2 etc.

I'll give it some more thought when I wake up but I think you would
have to track concurrent channels per trunk to balance it properly.

Any ideas on how to rotate (evenly distribute) outbound calls over a number
of 'trunks' or contexts?
