asterisk users - Oct 2010 - Using hint priority with LDAP extensions and users

Hi!

I've configured LDAP to read both users and extensions from LDAP server. 
However, I'm experiencing problems with state tracking. Previously when 
using static files, I was able to map extension number with channel 
state using:

[sip_phones]
....
exten => 100,hint,SIP/user
exten => user,hint,SIP/user
..
rest of the dialplan
...

Thus when someone called the user, hint SIP/user showed channel state as 
BUSY and I was able to use call limits etc. Now I've added this line to 
[sip_phones]:

switch => Realtime/@

My hints, and call limits as well, stopped working. I've tried to move 
hints to LDAP (which would be ideal situation for me), setting 
AstPriority to "hint" but I don't think they are event fetched. So
the
question is... I'm I doing something wrong or it's just impossible to 
use those two solutions (hints + LDAP) together?

PS. I'm using Asterisk 1.6.2 if it helps with anything.

Seems like I've managed to fix the issue. The first thing was that my 
LDAP schema didn't allow for "gecos" attribute to be inside 
AsteriskSIPUser (provided asterisk.ldif misses a few things ;). Another 
one was to add "rtcachefriends=yes" to general section of
"sip.conf".
The last was to add call-limit=AstAccountCallLimit to res_ldap.conf in 
[sip] section. Another issue is - can I keep hints in LDAP?
