FQDN resolve by NetSNMP agent in snmpd.conf

Sending it again. Just in case it did not reach the proper group.

Hi,
   I have specific case where in SNMP managers are configured as FQDNs. During start up we read all these addresses, write them to snmpd.conf and ask the agent to reread the config file. Problem is during startup when the DNS server is not really ready, it looks like agent tries to resolve the addresses and since it could not, agent fails to respond to those managers added as FQDNs.

I would like to know agent tries only once to resolve the addresses? Is there any timing involved here? How does agent takes care in case the DNS changes its entry to a different IP address?
 
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
 
Thanks and Regards,
Malathi
