If you are using LEC provided forwarding. The best solution is to have you main line in a separate out going call group. Make a short code to go out line group. 8N; / Dial / N / Line group of the main number. The only thing about this method is it takes your main line out of the 'Main' ARS rotation unless you create an overflow ARS.
The best solution is to use the PROVIDER forwarding, if they have the service (many typically do).
I've found the easiest way is on a mangers phone, or someone who isn't going to muck around, make a LINE APPEARANCE with no ringing for that main line. They just press the line appearance to get dial tone, then they dial the carrier code for forward on/off. Then you don't use your extra lines.
