problems with snmpget & APAN

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

This is a long shot, but....

I've seen weird things happen in the past (not with Nagios) when a
particular hostname had uppercase characters in it.  You might want to
reconfig Nagios (and /etc/hosts and/or DNS, if that's how you're resolving
hostnames) to use just lowercase characters.  At the very least, create a
hostname alias in /etc/hosts or DNS and definitely try using lowercase in
your Nagios configs.

This might not be the problem at all, but....
