Thomas,

	I found out this morning that the native agent does not like being on an
alt. port no matter what we do to it. After putting it back to the standard 161
port everything is pulling correctly. Basically I swapped the Net-SNMP and AIX
daemons and they are reporting correctly. For the most part the proxy commands
are reporting the IpAddrTable with about a 75% success rating. There are still
the odd times that it times out but I can live with that. Since its all static
IP addresses the IP Address updates are not that important in the scheme of things.

The vendor that supplies our hardware and custom software has a history of making
small changes to the software that drives our team nuts when it no longer works
as expected. I was hoping that I can sanitize the build some and allow it to be
closer to the Net-SNMP defaults. This has helped us in the past getting a ton of
packages working. 

I am thinking that this problem can be marked solved. Thanks for the help everyone.
