Unfortunately, the AgentX protocol is purely designed for the master
agent retrieving information from the subagent.  There is no mechanism
for the subagent to retrieve MIB values from the master agent.

Basically, you'll need to construct a suitable GET request within the
subagent, and query the master agent as if the subagent was a management
client.   See the 'disman' group for some examples of how to do this
(esp the mte_get_response() routine)
