I just committed this feature to CVS.  You can now disable bulkwalk on a
per-device, per-vendor, per-model or per-subnet basis.   The new config file
directive is 'bulkwalk_no'

I also moved 'discover_no', 'arpnip_no', and 'macsuck_no' over to the new
syntax so you can do more than by host/ip/subnet.

There is also a new global 'bulkwalk_off' directive to turn it off all
together (good for debugging).

SNMP::Info 1.0 has the ability to turn off bulkwalking on a per device class
basis, as mike mentioned earlier in this thread.
