Instead of bolting SNMP "into" Apache, we had discussed writing a small but separate "configuration" server which might in future have some real time relationship with the web server but would initally just read/write the configuration files. It would reconfigure Apache by restarting it once the configuration changes had been completed. So, SNMP could potentially be used to send/receive configuration information to this configuration server and perhaps once Apache becomes threaded the configuration stuff could either be melded into the main web server or the configuration server could be expanded to allow real-time communications. For the time being though- one step at a time :)
BTW, any and all expertise/advice in SNMP / MIBs is appreciated. We're considering using the Adventnet Java toolkit as advertised on www.cupojoe.com. Justin "man of a thousand e-mail addresses" Seiferth [EMAIL PROTECTED]
