I'm referring to "IfIndex persistence across reboots on BSD box", dated 
*14 Mar 2008.

*I'm working on a similar issue. On my host, ifIndex of "lo" and "eth0" 
got swapped, assumed to be related to a kernel upgrade (2.6.22 -> 2.6.25).
I'm asked to explore alternatives for fixating ifIndex, not via the use 
of ifAlias.

I'm wondering whether the use of the 'override' directive of snmpd.conf 
can assist here. Something like this:

# override ifIndex.1 to be '2' and ifIndex.2 to be '1'
override .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.1 integer 2
override .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.2 integer 1

Is this total profanity, or can expect this to work, and in-accordance 
with the rest of the IF-MIB implementation?
