I have tried to think of something for a configuration MIB. I believe this is quit difficult, since a lot of different directives have to be grouped. Once this is done. We have to write the tables in which the values can be set. We also have to decided if we go for a more general option or specific.
We have somehow to choose between:
a) a table in which 1 entry for 1 installed Apache has lots of columns (in which each a seperate managed objects (configuration directive) is defined.

or

b)
every configuration directive has a seperate entry.

For the choice of putting the configuration inside apache or outside. The choice is do we want to "sighup" Apache after each change in configuration. I believe the most easiest way is via config-files, but this is actually not prefered, because before responding an SNMP-set it must be sure that the SNMP-set operation is possible. IMHO, this is directly required if config files are used and there can become inconsistencies between the running configuration and the SNMP-setted configuration.
