Unfortunately I do not have a choice.  Also, we have a specific network
setup where traps are broadcast on the LAN by specific devices with a known
OID.  I'm not sure I need worry about those cases you brought up but I could
be wrong.  So there is definitely no way to grab the IP from the callback or
some such?
