asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Variuos hangup codes in Manager API for failover

I am currently using the Manager API to place a few calls. I have more than 
one VSP available.

I was wondering how to best tell a call failed to move on to the next VSP.

I see messages like this, which is an obvious failure, and I would then move 
on to the next VSP.

Event: Hangup
Cause: 3
Cause-txt: No route to destination

Do people have others that they check for?

thanks,

Geoff

Normally the way I do it is to program the failover into the dialplan and then
send the call to Local/exten@context to initiate it.

That way if you roll the software out to clients (who may have 1 or 100 or 100
providers set up) then they will not need to make alterations.

BTW: Rather than checking for all of the possible failures that could occur
why not just check for a success or lack thereof.

How about a snippet? (Local channels somewhat escape me.)
