Not exactly. However if you launch lynx on those given sites, you
could pass a different config file, something like
alias lynxa='lynx -useragent="My Fabulous Agent/0.1"'
alias lynxb='lynx -useragent="Mozilla Firefox/0.1 (Really, trust me)"'
and then launch them like
$ lynxa http://trouble.example.com
$ lynxb https://broken.example.net
It doesn't solve the problem of ending up on those sites from
elsewhere where you haven't pre-defined the user-agent, but it's as
close as I was able to get with my experimentation.
