        OK Thanks,
        I got two guestions,

        1. If I have multiple organizations, how do I assigned?
        is it
         1.3.6.1.4.1.10012.1.1 for Organization A
         1.3.6.1.4.1.10012.1.2 for Organization B
         ..
         ..
         and so on
         
        2. What is the range of numbers for each digit I use?
        examples 1.3.6.1.4.1.10012.1 to  1.3.6.1.4.1.10012.X

        what is the maximum value I can use for X?
        and how far down can I go under   1.3.6.1.4.1.10012

        example 1.3.6.1.4.1.10012.X.X.X.X.X.X...... ?


This is for my reference only, I know that I will not use till that
extent...LOL
also for my customer question (maybe)

Thanks in advance
