Subagent info

Hi,

I am using net-snmp (v3) in a linux module that attaches to a Network 
Element (NE) card running vxworks and an Snmp Research stack (v3).  A 
major restriction is that the Management System (MS) should only see 
_one_ IP address, that of the main processor, therefore the MS cannot 
communicate directly to the module SNMP agent via IP.

Is it possible to use a subagenet (agentx, smux, etc) to talk to my module?
What if there are multiple modules connected to the same NE (eg. 16 
modules)?  Can agentx, smux, etc handle that?

Alternatively, can the NE snmp agent (SNMP Research) terminate and/or 
forward SNMPv3 packets to the module snmp agent _and_ maintain the 
user/password authentication.  Is that a standard part of SNMPv3??

Is it possible to have multiple OIDs for different SNMP subagents in the 
same SNMP PDU?  If so, then the snmp agent would have to determine the 
destination subagent by processing each OID.  Correct?

Thanks for any help clarifying subagents :)
Cheers,
Brendan.
