Dear Group, I was able to fix this problem;
The solution was to use a prefix to dial out. The next challenge was to send the SIP Domain over IAX2!. I found that if I included @SIPDOMAIN it would break the IAX2 communications. exten => _6.,1,Dial(IAX2/bxxxxxx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]), breakes because @SIPDOMAIN is treated as the target context. You also can not include @Context after the @SIPDOMAIN. I created a new variable DS which was a concatenation of EXTEN and SIPDOMAIN separated by % and not @ and I was now able to pass this over IAX2; DS = EXTEN%SIPDOMAIN. exten => _6.,1,Dial(IAX2/bxxxxxx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${DS}). At the other end I used the CUT command and substring facilities in Asterisk to split DS by the % eliminator; I re-formed a new variable which was DS = [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can now pass calls from my internal Asterisk server to my external Asterisk server using IAX2 and then call any external VoIP number.

These examples are excellent and address a couple of the questions. I have IAX2 working between several asterisk servers on our VPN and between the DMZ and our LAN. Also exten => shad,1,Dial(IAX2/bxxxxxx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/${EXTEN}) This answers part of the question; However what I want to do is to send any outbound sip calls via our external SIP server. i.e; VPN LAN IAX2 DMZ Internet Internal UA <-------> Internal (*) <------> External (*)<------> ExternalUA We have an extensive internal dial plan, X dial the UK, Y dial USA, 1XXX for Voicemail, 2xxx for Meetme, etc. Do I need to setup a prefix to dial the internet? And then route all calls to the External(*) based on this prefix?
