No, I don't believe so.

The basic problem is that when the agent received the (default context)
request, it has two possible sources for this information - the proxy
connection to host3, and the local MIB modules that it handles itself.
    The design of the Net-SNMP agent is that it always chooses the
"more focused" registration, which will invariably be the local module.

Try issuing a query for an OID that is *only* implemented on host2,
and see if that works.
You might also try disabling some of the local MIB modules
(using -I-{module}) and see if that helps.
