That's something the phone cannot do. We solved this by running a small agi that searches the 'xml' file when a call comes in on *. I say 'xml' because it's all auto created from a database, so * queries the database, and the <DirectoryUrl> in the cisco points to a php script that makes a nice xml output from the same database.
