I'm using that on the single FreeBSD box on their LAN; but I
haven't looked into the available variables yet.  Their single
Linux box (a Cobalt Qube) does report separate values for each
IP address.  (Using its default SNMP daemon.)  Most of their
machines are SPARC/Solaris7 boxes though; and I'd prefer to use
the standard Sun SNMP daemon if possible.
