I don't know why there isn't a lookup from the frontend.  What mechanism
is it trying to use (since it's obviously succeeding).  I'm guessing
there's something strange about your configuration on the frontend, but
I'm really worried by the fact that it seems to be working.

What mechanism does it decide to use?

Yes, I'm sorry, it should have been proxyuser.  I was having trouble
keeping all of your usernames straight.
