I don't remember seeing any response to this. Can someone please tell
me if I should expect to be able to add to ifAddrTable from a subagent
or if snmpd's implmentation is inextensible? Thanks.

Moving on, I want to implement ifAddrTable in my PPP subagent. It
should supplement the ifAddrTable rows that (I believe) come out of the
master agent (snmpd). There is nothing like ifNumber in this table but
though I build a subagent that registers to handle ifTable, I get only
the rows handled by the master. How do I get my subagent to be able to
add to snmpd's ifAddrTable?
