What sort of traffic is passed over the pipe?
Is it used to retrieve the underlying data?
In which case Mack's approach of using "mib2c" to develop
a local MIB handler which uses this information is the most
sensible one.
Or is it used to pass the SNMP requests (in some form) down to
the lower level backend?
In which case, you're probably looking at writing a MIB handler
to translate between the Net-SNMP MIB API, and the protocol used
over this pipe.
In the latter case, you'd need to think about how this handles:
a) GET requests
b) GETNEXT requests
c) SET requests
(esp. dealing with failures)
It's a bit difficult to offer any more detailed advice, without
knowing a bit more about how things currently work.
