Some digging around got me here:

o I am using udp as transport and use agentx for master-slave subagent on Unix 
domain socket /root/.snmp/agentx master (no dig for them)
o snmpUDPDomain.c in snmplib contains function netsnmp_udp_transport - which 
creates the transport socket for response!
o Based on if local is true (server) or not (client), bind happens to given IP 
address or to the client address (to send from).


Now the quo - about the second bullet point! Will the case of a response to a 
snmpwalk (which is from a snmp manager - elsewhere) be treated as client case 
(local == false) and the case of agentx communication be treated as local == 
true?

If yes, will the specification of address against agentaddress in snmpd.conf 
serve any purpose? I tried it - and landed up with master-slave agentx 
communication broken - as I think, it causes the master agent to stop listening 
on the Unix socket! So, should I specify a comma separated list of the Unix 
socket and the IP address I want the responses to be bound to?

Thanks a ton for all help!

Subject: Any way to specify the IP Address that all responses should go out with

Hi,
  Is there any way to specify an interface (or IP address) that all responses 
from the agent should go out with?
