`man hosts.allow` says that lines in hosts.allow "should satisfy the
following format, things between [] being optional":
daemon_list : client_list [ : shell_command ]
In your case the daemon_list is 'myproxy-server', the client_list is
'127.0.0.1' and the shell_command is empty. It means that you should have:
myproxy-server: LOCAL
However, it is common to have in /etc/hosts.allow the following line
ALL: LOCAL
than deny loopback access and protect a machine from itself. You can
also remove the line "ALL: ALL" from /etc/hosts.deny as I suggested
several days ago.

Please, show what you have in /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow,
/etc/hosts.deny.
