	In SNMPv3 There are (at least) three possible solutions:

	1) Use a different username for each weblogic domain.

	2) Use a different context for each weblogic domain.

	Both of those should have minor administrative problems for traps, but potentially major headaches for informs.

	3) Add a varbind to your traps to indentify the source.  This is good, but may be outside of your control.

	4) Use the engineID to identify the source.  This requires a master agent per weblogic domain and a truly SNMPv3 savvy NMS.  It is an ideal solution if workable.


	HTH,

Mike
