I don't know how the front ends do it, but it is definately possible to get
several OIDs with a single SNMP request. Here is an example of a single
SNMP GET request which will return three values. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SNMP_util;
($name,$loc,$desc) = &snmpget("public\@10.1.1.1", "sysName", "sysLocation", 
                                                  "sysDescr");
print "$name,$loc,$desc\n";


Does anyone know what the limit is on the number of OIDs you can request at
one time? Is is related to the maximum size of the UDP packet?

Cheers,

Mike
