	I think you mean that you wrote a subagent, and that net-snmp is your master agent.  If that is not the case, we cannot offer much help.

	I know nothing about the ifXTable, so I can't be of much help, but I believe there is another relevant question here (which I also cannot answer, unfortunately): what is the growth behavior of the persistence file?  I assume that you are using the net-snmp persistence API.

	Well, at least you're running the best!


	HTH,
