FORWARDING PHONE CALLS
When you forward calls, it will ring through to the forwarded number. If no one answers, the ORIGINAL number's voicemail picks up.
The only other suggestion is to have the extended absence message in place, so that they cannot leave a voice message at that extension, and redirect them to the correct number to call.
