	This should be done via firewall.  There is no host filtering mechanism in SNMP, for good reason.

	By "no response", do you mean the request is timing out?

	The "xyz" machine doesn't even need the host entry, as it will respond to the IP address, which it got as part of the request.

	That needs to be in snmpd.conf, not snmp.conf.
