Re: Sending V3 trap to multiple hosts

Some news about my issue: it seems something related to engine ID.
If I'm going to send the same V3 trap to two peers I have to define two
unique engine IDs (one for each remote peer) in my trap sender.
If I use the same engine ID only the first trap sending works.
Someone could confirm this?
Thanks.
