The most likely explanation that springs to mind is that perhaps the
second server is a little slow in responding to the request, so it's
being resent before the first reply gets back.

You can test this by running the command:

    snmpgetnext -v 2c -c comstring -d serverN  .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.54

(to just request the first entry).
That will show the packets as they're sent and received.

I half expect server1 to show a single exchange, and server2 to show
*two* outgoing requests followed by the (first) reply.


Another way to test this is to use:

    snmpwalk  -v 2c -c comstring -t 60 server1:### .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.56

to be a little more patient before sending out retries.
