You'll need to setup your snmptrapd manually on the slaves, OV doesn't
handle this for you. Just copy your config files from your master.

FWIW I'm using a VIP on our load balancer to give our boxen a single IP to
throw traps to which seems to be working quite well.

Three of your friends throw up after eating chicken salad.  Do you think:
