[OpenSIPS-Users] CDRTool destinations /rates question

[Brian Chamberlain]

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the quick response. As I thought!

Can you just confirm that if I have 1 as a destination,1 as a rate and  
also 1617 as a rate and 1617 is the number dialled then according to  
the documentation the rating engine will find the 1 destination but  
will do a longest match and find 1617 as the rating record or am I  
hoping for too much?

Regards,
Brian
