[PTT] Yes, per guidelines quoted by Benoit.

[PTT] Yes. I just verified that RFC 4008 generates the following warnings
mibs/NAT-MIB:932: [5] {index-exceeds-too-large} warning: index of row 
`natAddrBindEntry' can exceed OID size limit by 141 subidentifier(s)
mibs/NAT-MIB:1162: [5] {index-exceeds-too-large} warning: index of row 
`natAddrPortBindEntry' can exceed OID size limit by 143 subidentifier(s)
