[Openvpn-users] Can I do this : debian 'server' + win and mac clients + dhcp ?

Hi all,
I would like to do the following :
 - openvpn + dhcpd3 running on a debian box
 - remote win2k or winXP nodes
 - remote mac OS X nodes

I would like the remote nodes to get their address on
the dedicated subnet 192.168.2.0 through dhcp. My
impression is this is not possible :
a) dhcp works only in bridge mode (relies on udp),
b) bridging takes tap devices,
c) mac OS X 10.2 (Darwin 6.8) does not support tap
devices, only tun ones.

Can you confirm ?
Is my only option to step down my plan to: i. static
addressing, ii. routed vpn mode ?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
