This means...

1) For any destination in 10.97.20.97-10.97.20.127 use 'ip of proxy' as
a parent
2) Never try to go direct for any reason

...which leaves traffic for any other destination without a path (and
leads to a "Failed to Select Source" error).

You might eliminate the "never_direct allow all" and instead set both
"prefer_direct" and "nonhierarchical_direct" to off. An alternative
would be "never_direct allow acl_plant1". But those are just a guesses
based on the limited information given.
