But what if someone want to try three hosts and when all three hosts fail 
to connect he want to abort? Maybe resolv-retry could be enhanced to give a 
timeout value for each host and a second overall timeout? To specifiy that 
each host should be tried for 60 seconds but after 500 seconds all resolv 
retries should be stopped I would like to say:

resolv-retry 60/500

or to try each host 60 seconds but try to resolve forever:

resolv-retry 60/infinite

If I like to give each host one chance I could write

resolv-retry 60

The only remainig thing is

resolv-retry infinite

In this case OpenVPN should try to resolve each host for 60 (whatever) 
seconds and try to resolv the list forever.
