VACM usage for multiple table restrictions

Randy et al-
     We are looking at using VACM for the IPPM MIB, and have a few questions
that have come up in our testing of this functionality:

1) It appears that for the VIEW statements, you can essentially only
associate 1 incl/excl per view, and only associate 1 access statement for a
particular group to 1 view.
What if we need to have 1 access statement associated to multiple views?
For example, I want to give "mygroup"  access to row 1  in table  X of my
mib, access to row 1 in another table Y of my mib,
and then access to all other scalars and tables in the MIB. Can this be
done?? How?

2) How does one specify an include statement on a view for a table that is
indexed on another table index? It also appears that when tables are indexed
on strings, that the string values need to be expressed in
ascii  (at least in the snmpd.conf file for netSNMP).


Thanks for your help,
