bind management using snmp

[Ronnel P. Maglasang]

Jim, thanks for the info.
Are you aware if the current implementation of ISC BIND version 9.3
supports the DNS MIB extensions? If supported, what mechanism BIND
uses to expose the mibs to an SNMP agent (I was thinking of some sort
of libraries or API that SNMP agent will use). I been looking for this info
in the net but couldn't find any.

Thanks,
Ronnel
