[cisco-voip] General design question re: partitions

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

When we first deployed our system, we were a bit wet behind the ears, so we put everything in one partition. That was quickly changed when we realized that if we wanted any control over calling we would need to make some changes. While we have a handle on the partitions we assign DNs on phones to, we've got a number of other partitions which we assign system DNs to. Voicemail ports, CTI route patterns, etc all have their own partition. 

Assuming we don't have overlapping DNs and all DNs are the same length, is it possible to simply have two partitions for system DNs, those that need to be dialable and those that shouldn't be dialable? And hope for the best? Should we even worry about non-dialable DNs, e.g. voicemail ports? Is it a big deal if users can dial voicemail ports directly?

So, my question to the list is: How far have you gone with partitions?
