PagedLOD provides load balance - such that subgraphs that are no longer being traversed can be marked as expired and removed from the scene graph. The osgDB::DatabasePager does all this pruning automatically for you. ProxyNode is just a ProxyNode for differing loading of a scene graph till its required, its very simple compared to PagedLOD and serves a very different purpose. If need a paged database use PagedLOD.
