Routing 911 calls over local trunks on a CS1000E

I am going to be upgrading a site to a CS1000E with survivable MG1000Es at the remote sites. The remote sites all have local POTS for 911 access. They will be dialing all local and LD calls through the CS1000E at the NOC.

This is how they are setup now, but they are on BCMs at the remote sites. My question is how to setup the call routing so the end users at the remote MG1000E sites continue to use their local trunks for 911 calls? Is this where Zone based routing comes into play. All of the phones will be IP sets after the upgrade.

I have tapped my Nortel SEs, but am not getting much feeback so far and can't find anything in the NTPs or maybe I just haven't found the right NTP yet. I don't believe I will need to implement ESA since they have local trunks and there are no roaming IP phones.
 
Forget the Nortel SE's. Just read the Emergency Services Access NTP for Release 5.5 three times. Then review the Nortel posted videos on YouTube - search "nortel esa". Nortel did a good job engineering ESA on release 5x. It's is well documented and the youtube videos are well made and a must view for system programers/engineers. In this this install you'll fine the use of RLI/RLB's (ld 86) for routing ESA calls will allow for the use of local lines at the MG1000E sites.
 
Qoute "I don't believe I will need to implement ESA since they have local trunks and there are no roaming IP phones."

Release 5.x ESA is the best and simplest option. Both to engineer now and administrate later.
