OIDs are always numeric; this notation is actually being interpreted
into numbers by net-snmp.

To get the numeric notation, use:

snmptranslate -On REDHAT-CLUSTER-MIB::rhcServiceRunningOnNode."service"

NB: that's a big "O", not a zero...

It's also faster to use numeric notation as the MIBs won't have to be
loaded - makes a real difference when polling many thousand OIDs per minute.
