Hi Russell,
Thanks for your answer.
Sending traps to multicast addresses seems like a good idea, except it
would be up to the receiver to decide whether to use the trap or not
(taking away the possibility to filter which hosts gets copied the traps
(multicast traps to predefined destinations)).
How about rdr-ing to different multicast addresses depending on who you
want the packet to go to?
Start doing this though, and the configuration is going to get a bit messy.
e.g. 3 multicast addresses, with their members:
mcastA - trapdest1
mcastB - trapdest2
mcastC - trapdest1,trapdest2
then you can decide who to send the trap to by rdr'ing it to one of
mcastA, mcastB or mcastC
Certainly seems to violate the principle of least astonishment...
