I think your present hunt group is arranged for night service.  With
that option, callers to numbers other than the first one don't hunt.
It is typically used on PBX trunk groups.  During the day, the whole
group is answered by the PBX attendant.  At night, each trunk is
hard-wired to a specific station.  Night callers are given the night
number associated with a station.  If the station is busy, they don't
hunt to another station.  Your local telco can probably re-arrange the
hunting to do what you want.
