accessing subagent requests

Hi,
I'm trying to build a "Bridge" to connect my data model to a net-snmp subagent.  The MIB defines some tables, each identified by several columns with from 1 to 3 indices, depending on specific table.

I have an interface API into my data storage (external) which can quickly provide any data item selected by the table, column, and indices.  Thus, I need to connect the snmp request to my API Request directly.  My data API can return information on whether the specific item is available (provides present value), if the item is temporarily unavailable (offline, value is unreliable), or if the value does not exist (was never defined, or row does not exist).

mib2c seems to expect that it will provide iterator code to do the lookup in a database, which is not what I believe I need.  There must be a way to simply receive the table ID, the column indicator, and the indices from the subagent (via callback) and operate on them directly.

Could anyone provide suggestion on how to achieve this, i.e., simply bypass the iterators that mib2c code might produce and directly convert the request into the proper access values?  What registrations/flow are necessary within the subagent?

I don't find any wiki discussion that seems applicable.

Thanks, =mike smith
