If this is the Galvin, McCloghrie, Davin draft, I do not remember anything
concerning the multiple agent issue. I'll check again.

I remember the "SNMP Administrative Model" draft had something concerning
proxy agents. The "native proxy" looks like a possible solution to the
multiple agent on one host problem. Any thoughts on this ? Is anyone
implementing it ?
