Due to the overwellming reaction (none to be correct) we decide to still go ahead with this (as it seemed to be a nice addition to the SNMP TRAP receiver).
Via the setup\build-in servers\snmp trapreceiver you can configure Servers Alive to convert the source and agent IP to a hostname for the received SNMP traps. The converted IP will be kept in cache for (by default) 3600 seconds (1 hour). (the cache is limited to 255 entries, based on the last part of the IP address - meaning that if you get a trap from 1.2.3.222 and a few seconds later from 1.2.4.222 that we will only have the latest one in cache) You can view the cuurent status of the cache (ip - hostname - seconds it will be kept in cache <- can be a negative value!!) view the VIEW CACHE command on the telnet/ssh interface. Hopeing on some feedback on this.....

If so with "normal" look-ups (using the normal name resolution of the OS) or (also) with an internal table of IP/hostnames? Dirk Bulinckx.
