Is there an easy way to exclude a 10 digit number from an outbound rule so that it may be processed by another gateway? For example, an outbound rule using gateway1 is set to 416, therefore all numbers starting with 416 will use that gateway.

However, say 4165551212 is desired to egress through gateway2, not gateway1.

I suppose it is possible to do the following, set up separate rules for gateway1 as follows:
4161
4162
4163
4164
4166
4167
4168
4169
4160
41651
41652
41653
41654
41656
41657
41658
41658
41659
41650
416551
etc, etc etc
 
I figurerd out the answer. I set up a new outbound rule that considers 11 digits for the specific number I wish to call, a number whose nxx is already existing in another outbound rule. I added a 0 to the specific umber that I dial and then stripped off the first digit in the outbound rule. The 11 digit number that I dialled is then picked up by the new outbound rule. the irrelevant first digit stripped off, and the remaining 10 digits is then routed to the gateway I determined for egress. Yes!
 
This is where having an access digit, like 9 + (10 digits), comes in handy. You can then use a second access digit, like 8, or 7, to force the same numbers through another outbound trunk.
