Yes, this can be done (and this is what OpenVPN AS does "under the hood",
with slightly more magic regarding the distribution of incoming connections).
It will scale better than just one OpenVPN process, but is still not ideal
from a load distribution perspective, and - as you point out - needs help
from a client-connect script to get IP address assignment right.
