SNMP Multiplexer request

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I want to run a Scotty based SNMP agent and an existing SNMP daemon on
the same machine listening to the same port (161).
The existing SNMP agent has no facility to link-in any agent for a sub
name space.
The existing agent as well as my new Scotty based agent can be
configured to listen to a non-standard port number.
What I want to have is a multiplexor program running on my machine
which routes SNMPv1 messages (mainly get, get-next and set) to the
right agent according to the first object identifier in the message.
The routing means that the multiplexor "knows" which OIDs are
implemented by which agent.
We can assume that a message which contains multiple OIDs can all be
served by the same agent.
A complication is a message with a get-next request for an OID
residing in agent one which needs to be served by agent two. This can
be solved if the multiplexor knows the first and the last OID which
each agent implements.
Traps don't form a problem as they can be send by any agent.

Question:
Does anybody have something or know anything which resembles this
functionality which I can use. Please respond by mail.

Best Regards,

Hans Dekker
