Er, if the proxies add to the end of the list (which I didn't take into account), it'd be better to return the first and not the last element of the list, right?

Depends on whether you're interested in the user's (claimed) real address, or the address the user presents to the web server to which he thinks he's speaking. In my case, I'm interested in the latter (that is, I'm just interested in what REMOTE-ADDR would be if Hunchentoot weren't behind a server-side proxy). Having looked at the documentation for sessions in the past five minutes, I see that that machinery is interested in the former.
