[Openvpn-users] Clients give up trying to reconnect to server

[Chris Stankaitis <chris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I restarted my server a couple of times today, the server wasn't down
for any longer then it took to do an /etc/init.d/openvpn restart however
all my clients kacked... and gave up reconnecting to the server.  This
isn't that good.. if my server were to say be rebooted it would be down
for longer then the restarts took... how can I get my clients to
continually retry to connect regardless of how long the server is gone..
