Thanks for the clarification.  I'm happy as long as whatever
shows up in the MIB is sufficiently unique to prevent confusion.
For example, consider what could happen when mutiple
enterprises outsource their network management to the
same provider.  The management systems need to be able to
tell whether a given idententifier refers to the same or different
systems, particularly if the relationships between the enterprises
potentially involve shared facilities.
