discovery is a very hard problem to do reliably. From the SNMP aspect
only (I won't talk about ping, etc) I suggest you start by querying
the sysObjectID.0 value which should tell you what agent is running on
the machine.
You could also look at the TCP connection table of any machine you find
to see who else has been talking to it.
