OK - that's a slightly different question to the one I was answering.
There are two separate (but related) issues here:
a) How can the management client (Cricket) tell the agent
which host to report on?
b) How can the agent tell the extension script
which host to report on?
My answer was addressing the second of those - not the first.
The standard way to handle the first issue would be to use
different community strings for the two cases:
> datasource param1-host1
> ds-source = snmp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:161/<oid for param1>
>

Then have the agent map these community strings into equivalent
"contexts" (see the 'com2sec' directive) and register the two
extension scripts in the relevant contexts (which may need some
tweaking of the code).
Is that any help?
