When we use another agent (may be later versions of net-snmp like 5.4.2) etc as a proxy to SMA from sun, would the context name work? I mean will the contextname get resolved. I think, As long as the requests get forwarded to the proxies along with the contextname, it should.. but would they get forwarded with the contextname is a question?

One other very good idea is to provide an SNMPv3 frontend for agents that do not have v3 capability. Cheers, Athanasios Yeah, very good idea, snmp proxy feature rocks.
