Hey Girish,

I am sorry. I haven't used 'aliases' and MSILO module. So my knowledge is very limited on using these features. We also have a setup somewhat similer to what you had described, but we have a plug-in for SER from which we fetch the records from the database, modify the uri and send it to Asterisk. This works fine for us and as you said, the ${EXTEN} in Asterisk dialplan handles all such numbers.

Hmm... what do you mean about fetching from the database? I am using the mysql module and have the subscribers and aliases stored in the database... it sounds like I want to do exactly what you are doing - lookup the alias in the database and then modify the URI. Do you have any advice as to how you are doing this?

Sorry if my explanation about the 404 is confusing... it's confusing

for

me too! Attached is the ser.cfg (I hope it retains the indentation!)

From your ser.cfg:

if ((method=="INVITE" || method=="ACK") && t_newtran() ) { t_reply("404", "Not Found");

I think this is why you get the 404 message failure route. Instead try this:

if ((method == .... { t_on_failure("4"); t_relay(); break; }

Thanks - I'll try this! Although I'll need to check to make sure that I still do cope with true 404 errors.

Thanks for all the help,

D

Dave
