[cisco-voip] Call transfer to a phone with CFA enabled

[Erick Bergquist]

In CCM 4.2 users can log in and out of huntgroups if there phone is configured with that option, so if they logged out of huntgroup the below wouldn't work.

       A very interesting workaround. Thanks for pointing  that out. We might have to investigate this option.
  
 However, with workarounds like this, I find  two things:
    We cannot be guarenteed that hunt groups will    always work this way. What happens when Cisco modifies the behaviour in    v4.1(8) [just making that version up] so that it does follow forwarding    because so many people asked for it and there is no system or phone    configuration option to differentiate behaviour? Using the behaviour of a    feature to deliver a different feature (or unadvertised feature) is risky.    Changes to that behaviour in subsequent versions can cause    problems.   Workarounds that are based on partitions and    calling search spaces are not scalable in my opinion. We have over 300    departments on campus, each had their own 'com' group to bypass forwarding. I    would need to create a similar number of partitions and calling search spaces    to mimic this. And because I have groups on campus with different off-campus    restrictions, the number might increase. Just my two cents.
