[snmp] Re: Bind to a specific port

[Birgit Arkesteijn]

Hi Josh,

No, there isn't.

I have to read up on DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket (used by our 
StandardSocket), but a quick glance doesn't tell me how to specify the 
local port on the fly.

As far as I can tell, you can give the local port to listen *on* (i.e. 
all incoming packets that are send to port 161), but as far as I can 
tell, not the local port where to send *from*.

Cheers, Birgit
