Thomas,

Worst case scenario would be that you'd initiate the VPN connection with the Linux server that has a public address. Using a TAP device, you can have OpenVPN accept connections. I do this with our Win2k/XP road warriors. Have a TAP device waiting on port 500x with a SSL certificate. When your client attempts to access the public address, on that port with the proper certificate, connection is made. After the tunnel is up, you can have the routes put into place via a script that OpenVPN can run.

Doug
