Hi Dan

this is my (short) list of missing options/features 

- support for external dhcp on the server side, normally I configure 
openvpn server to push only data that I can't provide via dhcp server. So 
ip/mask/dns is taken from dhcp and additional route from openvpn
This configuration works perfectly for windows machine, on certain 
customer I have a dedicated openvpn only for me because I can't use 
"normal" openvpn configuration :-(

- support for multiple remote server
