Sorry, I wasn't specific.  My clients look up
"openvpn1[2,3,4].chguernsey.com" to connect, and I'm interested in how
it handles the results.  I expect it uses the Windows resolver, and
that it will receive all of the numeric results.  So if I change my
DNS entries to report
  PTR mercury.chguernsey.com.
  A   65.120.131.235
  A   172.21.166.249
can I get the client to "notice" that it is directly connected to the
172.21.166 subnet and use that IP?

For the moment I'm pursuing a split-view DNS to report only the
internal address on that subnet.  It should hide the effects of the
routing-loop problem until it can be properly resolved.
