RFC3197 has good advice for anyone planning a journey down this 
particular road. The MIBs for DNS servers and resolvers have been 
deprecated. 10-12 years ago code would probably have been written for 
those now obsolete MIBs, perhaps just for test purposes. However I 
doubt that code exists today or got any significant deployment.

I suppose the now obsolete RFCs documenting those MIBs might be a 
starting point. Though there doesn't seem much point resurrecting 
something that died a long time ago. BTW, those MIBs were derived from 
the internals of BIND4. They're unlikely to be relevant for current DNS 
implementations. Unless of course you're still running prehistoric 
BIND4 code.
