Why make things so much more complicated than they need to be.
Asterisk has had support for doing this for ages. The term you are
looking for is "contexts".

Because Asterisk wasn't designed with carrier class features in mind. It
was designed for a single enterprise. The dialplan, and config files,
start
to get very very complicated after you add more than a few companies.
Combine that with having to have multiple extensions for a single
function
(our Queues are accessed by a regular extension but then have to dial
another 'virtual' extension so that DUNDi can work out the 'primary'
server
for a queue) and so on. Anyway, it's becoming unmanagable.
