inet_server_addr() returns the correct IP address in this case. I am not sure why... The tunnel goes through at least one port-forwarding node, but I am not sure this makes postgresql see the connection any less local.
Thanks

Hmm, that's a bit tricky, since I assume you're using a local db connection inside the tunnel, so inet_server_addr() probably returns null. If you're talking unix/linux machines, then /etc/hostname _should_ have the current hostname in it, so:
create temp table foo (t text); copy foo from '/etc/hostname'; select * from foo; drop table foo;
Should work.
