Outbound routing question

Hi,
I have 42 outbound routes, some available to any extension, some restricted to specified extensions and some selected by dialled digits.
All great so far but:
I just set a new route for a single extension for digits 07 (mobiles) and put it at the top of the list, it contains 3 trunks. If the call fails (eg sip response 480) it doesn't try the 2 other trunks in the route, skips past the next acceptable route (which accepts 07 dial from any extension) and selects the last acceptable route in the list (any digits but specified extension).
My question is why not try all 3 trunks in the first route before going on to the next available route, and why skip a perfectly good route on the way down to the route it actually uses ?
All routes and trunks work just fine apart from this scenario and I have followed the log to confirm.
Any suggestions most welcome
Regards

I can confirm this behavior as well.

Hi Diafora,
Should this be raised to IPTel as a bug or is it normal Asterisk behaviour. If you get the same issues then it sounds system wide,

That is exactly the reason I wrote the above statement. The issue you described was confirmed and therefore escalated.
