What conf file should I use to generate the code? I am using Net-SNMP 5.0.9 and 
it does not contain mib2c.notify.conf file.

Incase a trap needs to be sent from the NMS to my agent (DLM), how will the 
snmpd know that it's for my module. There could be other .so files in the 
snmpd.conf

That doesn't matter - it's perfectly valid to have a code module
that doesn't implement a MIB table or group of scalars.

The module would still need to contain an 'init_' routine,
so that you can set up whatever mechanism you'll be using
to determine *when* to send the traps.

Knowing when to send the trap is typically the hardest element of a trap
originator.  Actually sending the trap is the easy bit.
