Little OT - Mock agent for testing SNMP OIDs - any OID, would prefer to use Net-SNMP for the basis of this

Hi all, I have been searching through the Net-SNMP source to see if there is a framework to do with with Net-SNMP, tried to set pass_persist up to do this, does not seem it will let me overwrite responses to built in OIDs. I really want a regression testing framework for our SNMP-based programs / scripts, we use Net-SNMP extensively so I am hoping to use it as a test harness as well :). However, I really would like to be able to mock out any OID with this agent and just have it act as a real harness, providing only data our test cases provide. I see an agent listener using TwistedSNMP that does this, but since we use Net-SNMP almost exclusively, would be the best to have it be our container. Anyone know of a way to do this with Net-SNMP that does this? Is the best solution to recompile a test agent with no mibs except for pass_persist so that pass_persist can then respond to any OID at or below 1.3.6.1? Or would that plain fail too? I am not by any means an expert at the C parts of Net-SNMP though I have poked around in the C files as needed and I submitted one small patch to the pass_persist table handler that resolved a crash. Any advice / help appreciated, am doing my best to do leg work on this, but so far not coming up with any way to do this with Net-SNMP as the SNMP mock server container ..
