The problem is that I want this to work at different networks (with
different name servers) for the same client. These are people going to
different customer sites, with all their different network setup. I
know I can set a fixed name server on the tap-win32 adapter, but this
would mean each time looking up the name servers one gets via DHCP on
the LAN and then configure them manually on the tap-win32 adapter.

What I really want is a way to say is: "get the name servers via DHCP
on the LAN interface and ignore the name-servers that are pushed to
you via OpenVPN". Is this possible ?
