[A*UG] Line Pooling on PRI

[Mark Barry]

If you are trying to have a busy signal when the customer is over the limit
of channels then I would call that a hard limit. In this case I would
recommend that you have the carrier setup 2 groups on their end. One for
each DID. This will automatically handle your dynamic allocation issue. Then
all you need to do is limit the channels on the outbound calling for each
customer. This is like a multi-tenant system, so you probably need to have
each customers extensions in their own context. If need be, you can check
channels in use before making a call.
