Hello all,

I am working with a network with many machines that generate traps to be
received by a manager outside the network firewall.
I could have each of the machines generate traps and send to the desired
destinations, but the client has requested (for reasons of security and ease
of management) that the traps all come from just one SNMP agent. (i.e., set
up the trapsinks/trap2sinks/informsinks/trapsessions at a single node _and_
only poke one hole in the firewall.) On one of the machines I have a master
agent (Net-SNMP) with one SMUX subagent and one AgentX subagent which I
would like to use as the "central" trap generator.

Each of the other machines runs a master agent (also Net-SNMP) with one
registered SMUX subagent. When a trap is generated by the master or the SMUX
sub on one of these machines, I would like to have the trap sent to the
"central" agent, which would forward the trap to its destination list
(trapsinks). It would be best if v1, v2c, and v3 are all supported also.

I have read the postings, FAQs, and man pages re: proxies, subagents, etc.
but do not see how to do this (or if it can be done!). Also, the master and
SMUX subs on each box will be serving the same content wrt the OID tree. If
anyone can help with this implementation I would greatly appreciate it!

All master agents and AgentX subs are (or use libs from) Net-SNMP 5.3.1
running on SuSE SLES9.

Regards,
Dave Arthur
