FIFO for snmptrapd

All,

Feature request time!

Can we have snmptrapd outputting all traps to a FIFO, which another process
can then read from and process the traps?

I have a trap sent every time one of my switches learns or expires a MAC
address from its forwarding table, which equals a few thousand traps an
hour.

If I could attach a perl process to a FIFO, I'd save having to spawn 3000+
processes per hour, plus the resultant CPU.

I wouldn't even mind if it's one FIFO for all traps.

Is this possible/sensible?



Peter.
