Gotcha, The part that was confusing was:

>Could it be possible to add a flag to disable the allocation for the IP?
>If the "no allocation" flag is enabled, all ports will have an empty value for
IPs.

So what you are looking to do is to provide the IP address from the plugin
and not the db_base class it seems?  In this case all you need to do is
implement: 

_allocate_ips_for_port() in your plugin and then that method will be called
instead of the base class one.
