The configuration you describe sounds rather like a typical
"disman" environment.  There you'd really want to use a single
SNMP engine per box to support both the command generator and
command responder applications, just to keep the management
of security tractible.

(Even in a non-disman environment, think about how you'd
manage the keys for the CG side of things.  You'll end up
having to have a CR on each of those engines anyway just to
handle configuration of security.  Introducing additional
SNMP engines would only makes things more complicated.)
