My understanding of DialPlan/CallRouting is that it can be accomplished via
static XML tags, or alternatively, via a DialPlan Application that
interfaces with the dptools module.

Question: If my above assumption is true, how does one select one approach
over the other? What is the criteria/considerations that would govern the
decision?

Best Regards,
Jerry

I think the real question is what are you trying to do ... for some
things it's very easy to just whip up a static XML file and be done with
it. For others you probably want some sort of interaction with a DB.

The options here are pretty endless:
-- XML curl
-- handing off the call to a script call from a static dial plan
(use lua if there is going to be any load)
-- event_socket
-- mod_lcr

But ultimately I think it's what you're trying to accomplish that
matters. For a PBX install I'd say static files is probably about as
easy as it is going to get. For delivering a service you'd probably
want interaction with a DB. I've use XML curl a lot and have even
starting using direct DB queries from static dialplans using
mod_memcache and memcachedb (not memcache ... persistent storage).

Okay. Say we want 1000 internal user extensions and want them to be
configured with individual dial plans that route the call based on the
extension's callgroup, time-of-day, and presence. Would be okay to create a
static XML dialplan file for each extension, so calls to/from each extension
would be routed uniquely based upon these parameters? This approach sounds
straightforward to us.
