No - it means that MIB object names in the config file would be converted to numeric OIDs, presumably by the config parsing routine. Internally the comparisons would be of numeric OIDs, yes. But the user visible config could use names or numbers. > DS> That way *all* cached tables would pick up run-time configuration > DS> automatically, without needing to update per-module code. > > I don't know if that's possible.
