Nit-pick: but it might not always be used for broadcast. For example, 
this mail is coming from my outbound relay, a host on a .55/29 
broadcast IP address. If there's no broadcast traffic (DHCP and NetBIOS 
use broadcasts) the broadcast IP can be used.

Why not? I don't follow you here. Is it some quirk of OpenVPN?
