Yay! :-) AP> I also did an alternative implementation where I read data from a file AP> using the iterator approach - but it seems the iterator has a bit of AP> an overhead. Yeah, this is why I recommend people stay away from it unless they just really can't afford to keep all their indexes in memory for a few seconds.. Say a really low-memory system where SNMP performans isn't that important.. AP> One last question: is there any examples of how scalar data can be AP> cached?

There's no reason a cache helper couldn't be used with a scalar. You can check out the details of registering a cache in the xxx_interface.c file in your MfD implementation, or grep for lots of examples in the source.

I'm quite AP> good at documenting stuff - more than coding it seems :-) Angela, that would be fantastic! I haven't had time to maintain my original tutorial using the ifTable, so something up to date and written from the true Net-SNMP novices would be VERY helpful.
