That much will work.
But adding:

> proxy -v 2c -c <community> <host ip5> <oid1>

won't.
If the agent receives a request for "oid1", then what
should it do?
Iit's been told to send such requests to ip3.
But it's also been told to send them to ip5.
Which should it do?   It can't do both!

Instructions to a computer should be clear and
unambiguous.  This situation is not, and the agent
can't cope with it.

Stick to one destination for a given OID (or OID subtree)
and things should work.
