SNMPD Query

[Michael RISBY]

Thanks for the replies, however this is not the case.

Yes I can look up all OID's of certain devices on localhost, however the
machine that is doing the 'walking' is on my home DSL connection which
has a dynamic address.

To try help solve this ill paste my snmpd config. (Note, certain aspects
will have changed but the overall thing is how it currently is. As you
will notice I have just kept adding  whatever IP i happen to be assigned
from my ISP.

Basically I want to know if there is any way to have
'risbo.domainhere.com' dns lookup up, as it automatically updates with
my public IP at home.

agentaddress ###.###.###.###:161

If you are monitoring your own local system, change the IP for your
snmpd.conf to 127.0.0.1 and start monitoring that.
127.0.0.1 is your 'loopback' address.  It means 'listen only to myself'.

If you are monitoring the system from remote, rather than constantly
updating your IP address, you can put in 0.0.0.0 which means 'listen on
all addresses'.
