Why not have each master agent listen on a different socket (/var/agentx/master{N}) and have each AgentX subagent register with the appropriate one. > (The reason I want to do this is that each subagent should > report a similar MIB branch subtree - and the agentX protocol does not deal > with overlapping MIB branches). Errr... yes it does. That's the purpose of the "context" field in both SNMPv3 and AgentX protocols. Now I'm not sure how easy it would be to make use of that in your partticular situation, and having separate subagent processes might well be the most straightforward approach. But a single AgentX subagent (and/or master agent) *can* in principle look after multiple copies of the same MIB objects.
