Ok, I implemented a SNMP trap receiver (minimal version of snmptrapd)
and
found that the connection does indeed get made and torn down each time a
trap is sent when using the forward directive in snmptrapd.conf. Anyone
know if there is a way to make the connection persist?

For now I'm using UDP over localhost which I guess should be suffice,
but
TCP would be better since I wouldn't want a trap to show up in the
snmptrapd
log, but not in my management application. Any thoughts on the UDP
approach
over localhost?
