Re: My process is blocked while sendin a trap

Hi,

In fact, I'm using trap mechanism to dispatch all errors arising in our 
servers.

Chances that error messages will be sent massively are statically low...

But this scenario can occur, and this blocks my server... I just to try to 
figure out if I can imagine a work around.

The problem is that we have multiple servers that can potentially send 
traps.

I can correct this in one application (I have a counter in each application 
that forces a sleep each time 250 traps are sent), but I can't with 
multiple.
