Hi! The first hurdle you must take is finding out what "busy" exactly means for your SIP phones - do you allow only 1 call appearance, or 2, or ... see the dialplan commands "SetGroup", "GetGroupCount" etc. for this. Note: Before this feature was added to Asterisk people used "outgoinglimit=" and "incominglimit=" in sip.conf.

You'll need to transalte "ring 4-6 times" into a value in seconds, but that you can manage I assume... :-) Finally: If you "set up the dial plan to go from extension to extension" you'll get exactly what you want. Asterisk knows immediately if a phone is busy or not (limitations see above), so you are not wasting time (or x rings). If you like you can add a 'non-busy call attempt' counter using the "SetVar" dialplan command coupled with "GotoIf()" to prevent trying yet another extension...
