You can select the interface the OpenVPN daemon binds to with the 
"local" directive, and can control the tap adapter the OpenVPN daemon 
binds to with the dev-node directive.

(Unfortunately, --local takes an IP address rather than a device name -- 
but a little bit of scriptage ought to be able to retrieve the former 
given the latter... though thinking about it, OpenVPN ought to have the 
relevant OS-specific logic for finding the IP address associated with a 
device already)
