Thanks, Dave.
It worked fine after disabling unwanted modules in the master agent.

No - that will proxy any request ==>that does not have a more specific
registration<==.
A more specific registration (i.e. longer root OID) will always take precedence
over more general ones (with a shorter root OID).
See the AgentX specs for details.

It's not a matter of the master superceding the subagent.
Rather it's a more specific registration taking precedence over
a general one.
If you want to direct requests to the proxied agent, the best approach would
be to disable the unwanted module in the master agent (e.g. snmpd
-I-module....)
Failing that, it *might* be possible to explicitly registering the OID in
question via "proxy". Though I suspect you might run into problems
with duplicate registrations.
The best approach is definitely to turn off the bits you don't want in
the master agent.
