gack! blech! ptuii!   No, no spawning of new config files. We already have to
check for too many as is.

No, they aren't. At least not currently. It is all handled by the library.

I think you are referring to the host specific tags, for setting different
defaults for different hosts. That included a discussion about mixing 
application type handlers (eg snmp.conf directives in snmpd.conf), but I don't
recall anything about module tags. Might just be semantic confusion, though.

AS> Either adding tag seperated sections to snmp.conf

You can just a cross-pollinate conf files with other tokens willy-nilly. For
one thing, applications that use the library might not have a parser registered
for a particular token, and thus will spit out errors.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
