I'll repeat my apology if this doesn't make sense because I don't
fully understand what I'm doing. Please correct any obvious mistakes
in what I'm saying.

Our MIB has information about what modules are available in our
application and what information they should respond to. However, our
modules are largely independent between each other and communicate
with standard network protocols. Should our customers at any time wish
more or less functionality from our product, we can add or remove
modules, and our MIB has to change to reflect this.

How should a subagent handle this? At present, we have scripts that
add to snmpd.conf whatever new OIDs we need, and we map the OIDs to
their values with "extend" commands and the external application we've
written.
