I have the same problem too. Snmpd seems to refresh cache when it receives a SET request, which seems logical to me. The problem happens when you have other external methods of updating values which should be returned by Snmpd (for instance, if you have data store on a database, and want Snmpd to return its values; if database is updated Snmpd doesn't notice the change and cache is not refreshed).
I haven't tested it but newer versions doesn't perform caching. At least according to the Faq: http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/FAQ.html ... What's the difference between 'exec', 'sh' and 'pass'? ----------------------------------------------------- ... Note that with the 4.2.x and 5.0.x lines, return values are cached within the agent for 30 seconds, rather than invoking the command for every request. This does not hold for the 5.1.x agent.
