I just look at the code in FreeBSD, it handles 1000 tunnel by default:
case MOD_LOAD:
/* intitialize device */
mtx_init(&tapmtx, "tapmtx", NULL, MTX_DEF);
SLIST_INIT(&taphead);
clone_setup(&tapclones);
eh_tag = EVENTHANDLER_REGISTER(dev_clone, tapclone, 0,
1000);
if (eh_tag == NULL) {
clone_cleanup(&tapclones);
mtx_destroy(&tapmtx);
return (ENOMEM);
}
return (0);
Sit back and relax. :)

can this info be added to http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/install.html
so that everyone knows it in the future?
How is this with Kernel 2.6?
I checked the source of 2.6.7, but could'nt find this codefragment in
/net/core/dev.c
Anyone knows the limint in 2.6?
