SNMP Traps in Distributed XI environment

Ok, so we are doing a Gearman distributed environment with some worker nodes get specific checks to perform. These worker nodes will be at different geographic locations. There are some systems at these far off locations that need to send traps to NagiosXI. Is there a method to send the traps to the local worker and then that being rolled up to the primary server? This would eliminate many machines having to send traps to the primary NagiosXI server and multiple holes in the firewall.

I believe you can just forward them on with snmptrapd

That sounds like a good plan. Will ask my linux admin to get that setup. Feel free to mark this complete.
