Hi Robert, No, I never got a response from the list other than your message below.
You say: " This really should be handled higher up, instead of each module having to do it on it's own. And the nsCacheTable should probably store configured valued in the persistent storage so values survive a restart. " By this do you mean it should behandled from within net-snmp rather than each shared library? If so, this would require an enhancement to the current agent code. I'm no expert in the internals of the agent code, so how would such an enhancement be possible? Also, my shared object needs to work with net-nsmp 5.5 and/or later, so any such enhancement would need to be merged back into older versions. Would this even be possible?

Did you ever get this working like you wanted? Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business. Reach for the Cloud.
