[cisco-voip] routing tollfree calls - local or long distance trunks?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

regarding more precise dial-peers (if that's what you're using), while more precise patterns take precedence, if the call is not routed because of trunk busy and you do not have a 'hunt-stop' configured on the more precise pattern, it will hunt to the more generic LD pattern you have.

this had me going for a while, and it took me a while to figure it out....so i just offer it under the 'my two cents' category.

  Some don't; we can't send 800 calls over our ATT circuits (they reject 
  them), so in the router we have specific route patterns for 800, 866, 
  877 and 888 and set the trunkgroup to Local and FXO so that it doesn't 
  match the more generic 10 or 11D dial pattern.
