Yes - you have to change the code.
But it shouldn't be difficult.
If you take a look in the file 'mibgroup/mibII/ip.c' at the routine
'init_ip', you'll see a call to 'netsnmp_get_cache_handler'.
The first parameter ("IP_STATS_CACHE_TIMEOUT") is the length
of time that the IP statistic will be cached for.
I *think* that if you set this to 0, then the data will be loaded
afresh for every request. This will increase the load on the agent,
but will avoid this sort of jump.
