[arm-allstar] making Allstar Manager report different call for a node

Greetings:

I am using HamVoIP in combination with DVSwitch Server.

One node on my system has the call *BLIND* rather than a call sign to 
indicate the conference it's connected to.

Analog_Reflector grabs metadata using Asterisk Manager and forwards it 
to the digital modes, I.E. DMR, DSTAR and YSF.

However, it doesn't know what to do with the call *BLIND* and 
transmissions from that particular node are not translated to the XLX 
reflector.

Currently, A_R doesn't have a mechanism for this, so I was wondering if 
there is a way to change what Asterisk Manager itself reports locally 
from the node to a valid call, so that A_R is happy. I assume it gets 
this info from astdb.txt, but I'm not sure how to override specific 
entries in a way that won't get overwritten by astdb updates.

I could change the call associated with the node in the Allstarlink 
portal, but I don't want to handle it that way.


Thanks and 73
