There is no source address information in SNMP notifications. SNMPv3
notifications do contain the source engineID, which (in principle) uniquely
identifies the notification generator.

Make sure that all your snmptrapd instances use the same engineID, as
they are part of the same conceptual engine. I believe this setup will work,
but test early and often.
