Caching SNMP Info

[Subhendu Ghosh]

snmp proxy was desgined to prevent the lodaing and unloading of MIB files 
on every call by having a long running proxy daemon that would load MIB 
files just once.

The plugin passes the parameters to the proxy which does the actual get.

if you use -m"" you can get similar speedups from check_snmp but have 
to use oids and not names.
