SNMPv3 introduced the concept of contexts, which allow the agent to return
different data for the same OID. If you have machineA configured to proxy
all OIDs for machineB with a context of 'abc', then
snmpget -v 3 machineA sysDescr.0 = "machineA"
snmpget -v 3 -n abc machineA sysDescr.0 = "machineB"

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
