how to write a subagent to handle several mibs

Hello fellow net-snmp users,

I'm new to SNMP (and net-snmp). I want to write a subagent which will be responsible for several mibs. The subagent will use a proprietary common layer api to manipulate the mibs values. The subagent will be used a pass-through layer. 

My questions are:
How do I register my subagent with net-snmp without having to register the mibs piece-by-piece and one oid at a time?

The master and the subagent have few common mibs. how do I make the master agent forward the requests for those mibs
to the subagent?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of making my subagent a master agent?

I read many of tutorials including example-deamon.c. All of the examples handle either a single OID or single simple mib.


Thank you for your feedback,
Bernadette
