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

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.
