Then you need some way to indicate which machine you are interested in
for a given request.   The standard ways to do this would be the community
string (for SNMPv1/2c) or the context (SNMPv3).
   See the page that Thomas directed you to for more info.

No - that's not how BulkWalk works.
The GetBulk request will retrieve several OID varbinds from the *same*
destination system - equivalent to a series of individual GetNext requests.
It's concerned with improving the efficiency of retrieving information
serially,
not in parallel across different hosts.
