Proxy Agent subtree parsing

you can easy test this if you do a walk on the agent without the proxy 
mib entry. ;-)

You can send it to me through private mail.

 From the code in mib_proxy.cpp, I can't see a reason why it should do 
that. As you write "after some tables": Does the agent then even stop 
forwarding requests it forwarded before? What do you get if you do a get 
request on the first proxied object? Are there any hints in the logging 
output for the last request, that the agent forwarded?

It should be like you described.

There is no must. As long as the subtrees of the proxied agents don't 
overlap you're not forced to use the proxy forwarder. On the other hand, 
the proxy forwarder wold add a few nice features (remote configuration).
