Questions about running multiple copies of snmpd on the same box

Hello,

We are currently trying to run multiple copies of snmpd on a single
box. mostly everything works fine. Some background as to why: We are
emulating a power strip in an attempt to do virtual machine rebooting.
we need 1 "virtual power strip" (Ie 1 IP/Snmpd) per vsphere cluster.
We have 2 snmpd's setup, and working on seperate IP addresses. The
problem we seem to have is that the 2 snmpd's share memory somehow.

if we go to two completely seperate linux boxes, and perform snmpget's
against the ip's.. we get bad responses back.

for example, IP 1 always returns "1" for the oid query, and IP 2
always returns "2" (for our testing we did this).

if I query IP 1 for the oid like 10 times, then query IP 2 from
another box same oid, i'll get "1" back for a little. It appears to be
a cache but im not sure why server 2 is using server 1's cache. If
anybody could point me to a way to solve this, it would be much
appreciated.

If it matters, the oid's we are reqeuesting are handled by the pass
command to a simple script of ours that currently has a static
response.
