Yes, this is possible, but over an unreliable link, two layers of TCP
tunneling could get really flakey for any TCP connections inside the second
tunnel.

As long as the second OpenVPN server is being accessed via the first tunnel,
it should work transparently.

You will of couse be sensitive to the order of  startup of the two tunnels.
