Hi Gregg, Here's my approach, which doesn't mean it's the best, but it works for me the best.
I create PT-INTERNAL and create the following CSS's: CSS-INTERNAL < this will be for incoming calls, gw. CSS-HQ-FULL CSS-HQ-LD CSS-BR1-FULL CSS-BR1-LD CSS-BR2-FULL CSS-BR2-LD All these initially will contain PT-INTERNAL. Then per-tasks, I add new PT-PSTN-HQ-LOCAL, PT-PSTN-BR1-LOCAL, PT-PSTN-BR2-LOCAL and add it to corresponding CSS's. then if I have two sites in USA (same dial-plan), I add for LD/INTERNATIONAL: PT-PSTN-NANP-LD, PT-PSTN-NANP-INTERNATIONAL and add to corresponding CSS's... and it doesn't really take that long time updating the CSS's, I think it takes more time if you deploy line/device approach at the end, and start to re-test everything from the scratch... could take up to 20 minutes with the tests, and then add whatever time it takes you to fix the problems you encounter. But again, it's imho.
