I was letting that solution to the end because of a requisition of separating the processes. It's a valid solution but it would be gread if there was some kind of way of having multi processes just in case of one fail, the other continues running. That was the main reason to use two different snmp agents.
Thank you very much.

Why don't you just bind to both addresses/ports?
