The defContextName tells the *management* side of the snmp library which
default context name to use when sending *requests* to an agent. And it
should go into the "snmp.conf" file instead (note the missing "d").
An agent supports multiple contexts based on what context a given MIB
tree is registered as. If all the code only uses the default context
(""), then that will be the only context the agent will return data
for. If a mib piece of code (including an agentx subagent) registers
under a different context, then the agent will respond to multiple contexts.
DS> Do I need to have as many handlers as my posiible context Names?
At this point, yes. Though we've discussed a more dynamic way to
register contexts with a single registration, we don't support it now.

Not currently.
