The passdb/userdb lookups are done in the order as specified in config file. You can't tell Dovecot to only look up some users from one database. But if the first passdb/userdb is really fast (e.g. local passwd or passwd-file) then it basically doesn't matter, because the extra cost isn't noticeable.
