[Openvpn-users] Config item request

[Bradley Alexander <storm@xxxxxxx>]

I have a request for the server config file. The "local" directive specifies 
the interface on which OpenVPN listens. My first concern with this is in the 
event of a dynamic or semi-dynamic address, for instance, on a DSL or 
Cablemodem connection. These IP addresses are using DHCP, and while they 
don't change often, they do change (seldom enough for a hearty WTF? when the 
tunnel stops working after all that time). Jim, would you consider supporting 
use of either the IP address or interface name?

Also, can you specify multiple interfaces/addresses to listen on in that 
directive? For instance, a on a firewall with four interfaces, one DSL, one 
Cable, an internal network and a DMZ, could you specify the DSL and cable 
interface/addresses in separate lines or comma/whitespace separated on the 
same line?

Thanks,
