So I've been kind of struggling with the notion of making my Asterisk implementations dynamic, too. While I'd like to make everything directly database driven, I'm not sure Asterisk is quite there yet.
I've been thinking of writing something that creates appropriate configuration files from the database on a periodic basis, and then does an Asterisk reload. This would introduce a small delay into configuration changes, but it does have other benefits such as decoupling the design of the database from Asterisk.
Any thoughts?

We are looking to expand our usage of Asterisk and I am trying to make as
much of the configuration dynamic as I possibly can. The only part that I'm
having problems with is sip.conf. I can get asterisk to register each
extension with our local SER SIP proxy dynamically by using the
"sipfriends" table in the database, but I'm having trouble with the message
waiting indicators (ie. SIP NOTIFY packets when a new voicemail is waiting).
-SNIP-
Is there a way to make this dynamic so that I don't have to add this into
sip.conf -every- single time that I add a new extension?
Only by extending the functionality of sip friends to include this extra field...
I wouldn't bother doing this as ast_data (formally res_data) is being developed to replace sip/iax friends.
If you want to take a sneak preview at this then see:

I tried the following, but it didn't work .. [default] type=peer host=dynamic dtmfmode=inband username=${EXTEN} Mailbox=${EXTEN} Am I on the right track, or way off base? :-)
Way off base ;) That kind of syntax only works in extensions.conf
