Question about multiple write communities in snmpd

I'm struggling with configuration of snmp to get Compaq's
insightd, under Tru64 v4.0F, CPQIM v2.1.1 (and 2.2.2) to allow both:
        * remote monitoring and modification of individual
                systems from an NT CIM XE node
        * local modification of things like thresholds via
                the :2301 webserver

I can do local mods if I define two write communities:

/etc/snmpd.conf
community mycommunity 127.0.0.1 write
community mycommunity 999.88.77.66 write

and add the following to /var/opt/CPQIM211/web/im/webagent/webagent.ini:

IDS_SNMP_WRITE_COMMUNITY=mycommunity

but Compaq tells me it is not correct to define my community
twice.

If I remove the 127.0.0.1 entry from snmpd.conf, however, I can't
access/modify via httpd://host:2301.

I tried adding a diff. write community in both files, for the
127.0.0.1 entry, but this breaks everything too. I can find no
ref. to including more than one ip in a community entry in snmdp.conf.
Anyone know how I can have both NT node and local node have write
access?

TIA!
