asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Play message and dial extensions simultaneously

Ok, this has to be simple and I'm just not seeing it. On and inbound 
call, I want to play a specific message while simultaneously ringing 
extensions. Its basically like music on hold and queues, but I need the 
message to always start from the beginning, not just play from where the 
MOH process happens to be at that time. I tried Googling, but no luck.

I did try

exten => 1,1,Answer
exten => 1,2,Wait(1)
exten => 1,3,BackGround(custom/msg1)
exten => 1,4,Dial(SIP/1111,15)

but it played the entire message before dialing.

Thanks,

Mike Clark

For what purpose?
Have you tried:
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/1111,15&Local/123@${CONTEXT})

exten => 123,1,Background(custom/msg1)

It might not work, I have never tried something like this, but it might work.
