You are correct - many of our customers do exactly what you describe.

Here is an example of what to do:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy RADMIN>
        Identifier CheckRADMIN
        DBSource .....
        DBUsername ....
        DBAuth .....
        .......
</AuthBy>

# define AuthBy SQL for accounting only (note empty AuthSelect)
# use the same DBSource, etc. as AuthBy RADMIN

<AuthBy SQL>
        Identifier SQLAccounting
        DBSource .....
        DBUsername ....
        DBAuth .....
        AuthSelect
        AccountingTable RADUSAGEPROXIED
        AcctColumnDef .....
        .....
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy RADIUS>
        Identifier ProxyToDownstream
        .....
</AuthBy>

# define Realms

<Realm your.local.realm>
        AuthBy CheckRADMIN
        .....
</Realm>

<Realm some.other.realm>
        AuthByPolicy ContinueAlways
        AuthBy SQLAccounting
        AuthBy ProxyToDownstream
        ....
</Realm>


Of course, you can do a similar thing with Handlers if you prefer.
