[Openvpn-users] route keywords not substituting

Hi there.  Thanks so much for a great VPN solution.  I'm using OpenVPN in
routing mode to allow road warriors to tunnel into our network to bypass
the firewall.  However, I'm having a problem using the route option's
keywords for special gateways- it seems like they're not substituting
correctly.  A statement such as the following in the client config:

route mlvpn.ornith.cornell.edu net_gateway

Produces the following error message when I connect:

Thu Dec  1 13:31:34 2005 us=182129 RESOLVE: Cannot parse IP address:
net_gateway
Thu Dec  1 13:31:34 2005 us=183788 OpenVPN ROUTE: failed to parse/resolve
route for host/network: mlvpn.ornith.cornell.edu

And obviously the routes are not in place once the connection completes. 
This is also the case for similar statements involving the vpn_gateway
keyword.  I've also tried specifying the options on the command line and
pushing them out from the server; nothing works.  I'm experiencing this
issue on clients running OpenVPN 2.0.2 on OS X and OpenVPN 2.0.5 running
on Fedora.

Am I getting the syntax wrong somehow?  It looks right according to the
man page, but I haven't been able to find a working example.  Any advice
or working route statements from your own config files would be much
appreciated.

Cheers,

Rafe
