He all,
I have 2 GSM to Voip gateways and probably we will grow up to 4 more gateways. I already created a macro to make failover happen between gateways, but can imagine that everytime I add a new gateway I will need to modify the macro. The initial intention of this macro was to failover between different techonolgies.
So I was hoping to create a Sip Trunk group using the same idea as truckgroup under dahdi but for sip trunks.
Is that possible?, have you ever done this before?

AFAIK, unfortunatelly it's not the same as with ZAP channels where you can group multiple lines together.
I ended up using slightly modified superdial macro:

if you add new gateway it's not necesarry to edit the macro, just add new line in dialing context.

I've improved this since this revision, but now a days I don't use limited systems. But my code has been used in places that need 100 concurrent outgoing lines.
[macro-which-line]
exten => s,1,set(TRIES=0)
exten => s,n(nextone),set(TRIES=$[${TRIES} + 1]) ; increment TRIES by 1
exten => s,n,set(DIALSTRING=${TRY${TRIES}}) ; assign TRYn to DIALSTRING
exten => s,n,gotoif($["${DIALSTRING}" = ""]?donehere) ; see if we've run out of things to try
exten => s,n,ChanIsAvail(${DIALSTRING}) ; it will be up or down, no need for this to be exclusive
exten => s,n,gotoif($[${AVAILSTATUS} = 0]?:nextone)
exten => s,n,gotoif($[${GROUP_COUNT(${DIALSTRING})} >= 2]?nextone) ; have we used up the allowed calls on this channel
exten => s,n,set(GROUP()=${DIALSTRING}) ; Lock the line! Yay...
exten => s,n,Dial(${DIALSTRING}/1${ARG1}) ; dial the phone
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS}" = "BUSY"]?donehere) ; Don't keep dialing
exten => s,n,NoOp("Moving to the next one...");
exten => s,n,goto(nextone) ; TEMP
exten => s,n(donehere),MacroExit() ; we only get here if everything failed
Then in GLOBALS you just set things like:
TRY0=SIP/trunk1
TRY1=SIP/trunk2
TRY3=SIP/other1
The above code is limited to 2 lines per channel. The code I used originally (not sure where I found it anymore, might have been this mailing list or might have been Voip-Info) support defining how many channels you wanted to use for each provider (ie, provider1 has 2 lines free, but provider2 has 5 lines). The original code didn't hold up though since if multiple lines were being dialed at the exact same instance they would both return the same availability before dialing the line. So in this one, I try to lock the line early and if I get some other kind of error I move on to the next group because I might have failed due to another race condition.
Anyways, tons of problems when you're limited on channels. Mine is the best and one of a very few I've ever seen. SuperDial, I feel, is a silly idea. It's exactly the same as a regular Dial string. No clue why you'd use it over Dial. And the reason Dial doesn't work is because if the Dial'ed line hangs up it returns back to the orginal Dial Plan. Doesn't help at all. You hang up on the person, the person goes to the next line in the dial plan, and you get called again. You hang up, they call you back again. Soulds like a good way to use up air time.

i'm not so familiar with what youa re talking about .. but i beleive i've seen something like that in FreePBX where you can setup a failover trunk for a context.. try to have a look at it. and i hope it's what you are looking for
