SNMP trap using alternate interface source address?

Hi,

Does anyone know a method to force the snmp daemon to send traps with
the trap source using a value other than that of the host in /etc/hosts ?

This is AS4100 running Tru64 4.0f + TCR 1.6 on two nodes, with DE504
Ethernet and memory channel in a multi-homed configuration.

The /etc/hosts entry for hostname is set to mc0 due to an application
dependency (IN7) and the SNMP managment station is routable via one of
the tu: interfaces.

Not IP header forging, using an alternate interface for the "send from"
value within the SNMP trap body - the IP headers are correct for the tu:

Will summarise responses.

thanks,
        Iain
