Not possible, I'm afraid.
The connection from the subagent to the master isn't done until *after* the
"init_agent" routine is processed. This is because the config file settings
(handled by the "init_snmp" call) may specify the AgentX connection to use.
So the subagent cannot connect to the master until fairly late in the
initialization cycle ("SNMP_CALLBACK_POST_READ_CONFIG").

If you have set the AgentX ping interval (e.g. using the config directive
agentxPingInterval), then the subagent will try to maintain contact with the
master agent, and attempt to re-connect if this connection is lost.
This is handled by the main (sub)agent framework code. You don't have
to worry about this yourself.
