There will be several tests to be done.
As far as i can tell today, it seems not to be an generell snmp problem.
Last week i spend by observing some of our servers wich die that way. And it
seems that its an Problem of some OIDs or the interact with how fast they
are asked. I found out that an hand written perl script kills our servers.
This perl script does 5 to 6 asks to the server. We slowed it down by
waiting 1 second each ask. And the server is still running.
So it could be that snmpwalk just asks to much questions, which the server
cant handle.
