You might like to try experimenting with the new "extend" directive.
This works in the same basic way as "exec", but supports independent
caching for each extension entry (separately configurable). The MIB
output format is somewhat different, but is significantly more flexible.

Try replacing "exec ....." with "extend .....", restart the agent,
and run snmpwalk on NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtensions
