[cisco-voip] Unity Digital Networking (can it handle overlap?)

[Pat Hayes]

Ah, my head was in a different place, was think of transfer rules that 
aren't replicated/observed across digital networking. Alternate 
extensions are indeed replicated, using the ciscoEcsbuAlternateDtmfIds 
attribute in AD.

...but I'm sticking with it being a bad idea having overlapping 
extensions :-) If you leave them in place, without translating the 
numbers hitting Unity you can potentially end up with, among other 
things, messages being marked as sent from the wrong users.
