For incoming traps, can Spectrum (be configured to) use the source IP address 
in the IP header, rather than the Agent Address inside the Trap's PDU, for 
determining the source device for posting the event to the device's model?

Context: large Spectrum about to be deployed in environment with all devices 
beyond a static NAT layer which translates IP header source and dest IPs (but 
not the Agent address inside trap PDU of course). There are overlapping IPs 
between all the 100 or so customer networks beyond the NAT. We shall be 
modelling all devices using their public (NAT'ted) addresses therefore. ( We 
know to discover using seedlist etc not range autodiscovery).   SNMP versions 
in use for traps at the moment are 1 and 2c.

If answer to main question above is no, any thoughts on best solution?
TrapExploder with 'nat' action?  (but will need an individual 'filter....nat 
IP' entry per every device that's out there - so 1000s of lines in the cf file 
to maintain!)
*Sourceforge looperng?
**Ncomtech's trapfwd?

Supplementary question: Does Spectrum handle SNMPv3 traps -  InformRequests ?  
Does anyone know?
We did some tests and it seems to ignore them...


Any input gratefully received!
Cheers
Dan.
