It is an interesting problem.
If I get a bit of time I will have a look at OpenVPN to the remote node using SSL/TCP which might make life a bit simpler, and make things like 'ping' travel down the same path without any 'code hacks' etc.
Too complex.
Trawling the net-snmp docs in theory you could run SNMP/TLS to a remote node with the remote snmpd configured to map communities -> remote host, so you would 'switch out' the 'hostname' with the snmp-proxy hostname and appropriate community. Looks a bit messy to configure, and would break your 'ping' tests etc. http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Using_TLS http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Snmpd_proxy
Too complex. Too. Too. Too complex.
