Yes.
The destination is specified using the usual
protocol:host:port
syntax, so has the same range
of valid destination addresses.

Probably depends exactly when you looked at this (and which version
of the code). Checking the logs, it seems that I added this feature
in June 2003, so it was probably first included in v5.1.

The usual "snmp_read" approach - e.g. by running another snmptrapd
(or similar standard trap receiver). The whole idea was that this
should be as standard as possible.

Have a look at apps/snmptrapd.c:main()
In particular, the "while (running) { ... }" loop.
