Hostname vs. IP sent in traps

Hello all,

I am using Net-SNMP 5.3.1 libraries from an embedded AgentX subagent on Suse
Linux Enterprise Server 9.

I use the send_v2trap function to send traps from the embedded subagent.
1) Is there a way to send a hostname (rather than IP address) using the
snmp_varlist_add_variable()/send_v2trap() scheme?

2) If I use the snmptrap command and specify the hostname I am sending it
from, the IP address always appears at the management station end. Is this
behavior determined by the management station, or is the hostname resolved
to an IP and *then* sent in the trap?

Thank you in advance for any insight on this!
Dave A.
