Here's one for you all to wrack your brains over...

Customer has got a bunch of Keymile DSL devices that are managed from a
central server. The end-points themselves are dumb non-ip devices so we
can't model/poll them directly in Spectrum.

The central manager server sends Spectrum SNMP traps and in the varbinds
of those traps are the details of the affected device. 

The SNMP traps we receive are as follows:

Alarm Raised (0xFFF00000, which raises custom event 0xFFFF000)
Alarm Acknowledged (0xFFF00003)
Alarm Cleared (0xFFF00002)

We've got Alarm Raised showing pretty much how we'd like it using custom
alarm titles (props go to Jim Pfleger and his event code from 2 weeks
back!), and I can clear the alarms automatically when they're cleared on
the central server thanks to unique varbinds - in this case Varbind 5
which is the unique alarm ID on the central server.

My question is... how can I make the Spectrum alarm auto-acknowledge its
alarms when it receives the "Alarm Acknowledged" trap from the central
server?

I'm guessing it's more eventdisp jiggery-pokery or even worse, getting
my hands dirty in SetScript?

Essentially when event 0xFFF00003 is triggered I need to find the alarm
raised relating to varbind 5 (alarmID) and then set the attribute on
that alarm for "Acknowledged" to "Yes".

Any ideas? I'm stumped!
