Squid SNMP Features

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

While looking at the current implimentation of SNMP in squid I have
encountered a number of things that I would like some consensus on.

The first is the use of acl's in the SNMP configuration. My current
preference would be to drop this feature totally and rely upon the use of
community strings. This would reduce complexity and make the code
considerably cleaner. Giving a config of:

        snmp_port 3401

        snmp_agent_conf community mysecretcommunity

The second would be to drop the ability for squid to forward SNMP.

As part of these changes squid will no longer require the ability to read
the mib file to startup. The library has been upgraded to remove a number
of bugs and I will look at SNMP v2 support. These changes should also
improve the startup time.

As anyone who uses SNMP with squid would have noticed there are a number
of changes in the Squid 2.RELEASE implimentation. These are primarily
aimed at allowing a move to a generic proxy mib as work on that
progresses.
