Hello Magnus.

Thanks for replying my mail. It appers I didn't explain my self enough. 
I don't want to use the proxy functions by rereading the config file 
I simply calling them from another function I wrote and send them the proper 
args.
Anyhow I think I found my bug. The proxy functions that were written were not 
intended 
to be read in runtime. In order to use them in run time one needs to add 
"unregister_mib" calls before 
registring with the proxy. Morover In order to erase proxy configuration and 
use the mib regularly one needs to add "regiser_mib" 
call after calling "proxy_free_config".

Edit the config file to add the new proxy.
Send the agent a SIGHUP to make it reread the config.

The purpose of proxy_free_config is to clear the old proxy config in
preparation for a reread of the config file.

Thus, when proxy_free_config is called all proxy entries should be
cleared and that is what seems to happen.

During a configuration reread proxy_parse_config will be called on every
line and reestablish all the proxy entries.

I would'n depend on those functions as I would doubt that they really
were intended to be public at all.
