[syslog-ng] Convert syslog to traps

[Matthew Hall]

My advice, Net-SNMP via Perl if Perl is fast enough.

Otherwise next easiest would be Westhawk SNMP via Java.

If that won't work then Net-SNMP via C or SNMP++ via C++ is the fastest 
there is.

I have a lot of experience writing SNMP network management software so I 
can try to get you straightened out if you run into trouble.

Matthew.
