Re: [nv-l] SNMP Polling via a MLM

[Paul <pstroud@bellsouth.net>]

Sandro,
In theory, you should be able to use Squid to proxy
the requests:

 Squid is...

    * a full-featured Web proxy cache
    * designed to run on Unix systems
    * free, open-source software
    * the result of many contributions by unpaid (and paid) volunteers

Squid supports...

    * proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other URL's
    * proxying for SSL
    * cache hierarchies
    * ICP, HTCP, CARP, Cache Digests
    * transparent caching
    * WCCP (Squid v2.3 and above)
    * extensive access controls
    * HTTP server acceleration
    * SNMP
    * caching of DNS lookups

I have never use it to proxy SNMP, but it should work.
Might take some doing, but I believe it could be done!

HTH

Paul
