Indeed, with all the security flaws found in snmp it makes it fine in a 
controlled local network but for the internet it's almost asking for 
trouble, I actualy use snmp to monitor a our PIX's, tis a shame the pix 
gives out so little trafic information else id find far more use for it 
in our nagios setup.
