How would you define a failure?
For example, consider:
$ snmptranslate .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::system
$ snmptranslate .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.0
SNMPv2-MIB::system.0
$ snmptranslate .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::system.1
$ snmptranslate .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.0.1.2.3
SNMPv2-MIB::system.0.1.2.3
The last three are "partial" translations, in that they still
include trailing numeric subidentifiers. But they are also
"full" translations, because these trailing values are the
instance subidentifiers (though only one is actually valid)
Would you classify these are failures or not?

Surely the existing snmptrapd can do that - by supplying a suitable
default trap handler entry?
