Centos – SNMPD starts without errors but is not listening on any port

HP ProLiant DL360 G7 running CentOS6 5.7 with Net-SNMP 5.3.2.2-14.

I have 7 of these servers in a remote site all running mixture of CentOS 5.7 and RHEL 5.7 with same Net-SNMP installed from RPM. On one server my NMS continuously reports that it has failed to connect to the SNMP service. I ignored it because it usually clears up within ~15 minutes but today it has been happening 2-3 times per hour since the morning.

I have modified the snmpd startup script to log to file (default is to /dev/null). There are no errors in the log file upon startup:

could not open /proc/net/if_inet6
cannot open /proc/net/snmp6 ...
cmaX: listening for subagents on port 25375
cmaX: sent ColdStarts on ports 25376 to 25393
cmaX: subMIB 1 handler has disconnected
NET-SNMP version 5.3.2.2
cmaX: subMIB 2 handler has disconnected
Connection from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:50654
cmaX: subMIB 3 handler has disconnected
Received SNMP packet(s) from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:50654
cmaX: subMIB 5 handler has disconnected

I presume if_inet6 is for IPv6 which we do not use. snmpd.conf is below:

Any suggestions? IP Tables is shutoff.
