Thanks for this Greyman - it's all beginning to make sense now ;). I agree that the 'loss of CDR upon txfr' is a nasty bug which does need to be addressed before anything else (assuming it hasn't been already).
But, wouldn't it be better if you could ignore the CDR's completely and use an event based system? This would give you ALL the information you need. All that remains is to filter out the un-required bits. Like I said earlier - the CDR's aren't reliable enough for a billing platform (as you've rightly pointed out) but are OK for very basic call logging (something the customer can look at). Hopefully, the murf'ster will chirp in here :).

The links below provide the background to the whole thing. http://www.asterisk.org/node/48358 http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=11849 http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2008-January/204856.htm l Up until recently the approach was to try and fix the specific bugs with transfer CDRs as a typical bug. There is now a realisation that that is a lot trickier than inially thought so it's been decided to try and come up with a good design for the Asterisk CDR sub-system.
