net-snmp proxy configuration

Hello all,
 
I am trying to configure the net-snmp to use another agent for certain
requests.  I've added a line like this to my snmpd.conf file and have
restarted the daemon:
 
proxy -v 3 -lauthNoPriv -aMD5 -Apassword -uuser agenthost .1.3.6.etc
 
I can successfully query the second agent directly:
 
$ snmpget -v 3 -lauthNoPriv -aMD5 -Apassword -uuser agenthost .1.3.6.etc
 
But this fails when I try to access the OID through the proxy:
 
$ snmpget -v 3 -lauthNoPriv -aMD5 -Apassword -uuser localhost .1.3.6.etc
 
Looking at the logging on the second agent, it is rejecting the request
because of an invalid engine ID.
 
I have tried configuring the proxy to use SNMPv1, like so:
 
proxy -v 1 -c public agenthost .1.3.6.etc
 
And this then works rather nicely.
 
So my question is - how can I configure net-snmp to talk to the second
agent via SNMPv3?  I've tried specifying the second agent's engine ID in
snmpd.conf but this didn't appear to help.
 
I'm running net-snmp 5.3 on a Linux box.  The second agent is an
SNMP4J-based agent running on a separate, Windows, machine.
 
Thanks,
 
 
Alistair.
