No.

It means that if you want to proxy the same OID subtree from multiple hosts,
you must either:
a) Use SNMPv3 (which supports non-default contexts as standard)
or
b) Use the "proxy" directive to re-map them into separate locations
in the visible OID tree.


For example, you could use the proxy mechanism to re-map

.1.3.6.1.2.1 on hostA into .1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.65
and
.1.3.6.1.2.1 on hostB into .1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.66

You management application would need to be configured so that
it knew how to interpret these "private" OIDs, of course. But it
would still work with v5.1

If this sort of re-mapping isn't an option, then you'd either need
to use SNMPv3, or upgrade.
