SNMP traps are not been received for Natted devices Anyone else?

Guys,

I'm receiving snmp traps for devices that are on the local subnet and does not need translation. All of our clients that I'm trying to monitor has a static NAT translation for their servers. I ran a few test and noticed that the traps are making it to the HPSIM server but they are not showing up. After further investigation, I notice that the sender of the traps has a source ip that is local to the server and is not the natted public address. I'm also aware that the snmp data does not get translated thus why the local ip is showing instead of the natted IP. What I don't understand is why is an older version of Insight Manager (version 5 and version 7 SP2.3) able to process the traps and works perfectly and HPSIM cannot. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for your helps in advance. Maybe you guys have seen this already but I did not find anything on it with search.
