I do not think 4 to 5 SNMP queries per second would cause any problems.

I think you need to focus on handling error conditions. Specifically, since you are collecting the STDERR as well as STDOUT from the SNMPGET command, you should print that info out any time you fail to get the BSID. That way, you could track the pattern of error messages, or mis-parsing you may be doing.

A couple of other minor nits -:
* Do you really need to print each line of /var/log/messages ?
* You are using "System echo" to do printing. Perl is perfectly capable of appending to a file.
* Consider using a database (like SQLite) to store the information you collect.

        This is not an optical illusion, it just looks like one.
