From
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#server :

*# Configure server mode and supply a VPN subnet
# for OpenVPN to draw client addresses from.
# The server will take 10.8.0.1 for itself,
# the rest will be made available to clients.
# Each client will be able to reach the server

# on 10.8.0.1. Comment this line out if you are
# ethernet bridging. See the man page for more info.
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0*


You build a normal server to clients; You just don't push out routes as one
would normally do in a VPN server...
