Yes, certainly you can have multiple "real" snmp daemons query to a
sub-process via a proxy like mechanism.  There is no reason that
shouldn't work to allow multiple upstreams query to your internal agent.

The net-snmp package's snmpd actually supports that through the use of
the "proxy" directive ; see the snmpd.conf manual page in the "Proxy
Support" section.
