	That's an approach that I've also used successfully for years.

	I have found from time to time that some MIB data hierarchy
	which I've been depending on is deprecated or abandoned by the 
	equipment manufacturer in favour of some "other part of the
	forest".  

	In such a case, I've found it necessary to explore the new
	or updated equipment using

snmpwalk -v2c -cwhatever domain-name-or-ip-address . >some-file

	and use the results to guide modic=fications to my script.

	As you probably know, that '.' specifies the root OID, 
	so that the entire tree is matched.  

	I don't know whether this will help, or is even relevant, in
	your situation, but it may be worth a try.

	Best regards,
