Hmm. Maybe this check should check also the local etc. blocks..

So I added a global passdb/userdb:

The passdbs and userdbs are checked in the order they're defined. You could add them at the bottom. Or probably more easily:

local 128.223.143.138 { passdb { driver = sql args = .. }

passdb { driver = pam } userdb { driver = passwd }

This should work because all proxy lookups get caught by the sql lookup, while non-proxy connections go directly to pam. And only non-proxy connections care about userdb.
