Proxy "registration"

[Frank Fock]

Hi Corrado,

There is no general solution for your problem. You may
however add your own failure detection by subclassing
MibProxy and adding a static (class) member to the
subclass that holds information about failed targets for
a request (ID). The failed targets could then be skipped
when accessed a second time while processing the same
request.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Frank
