Yes - having one server instance managing both udp and tcp AND being
able to handle multiple ports should be part of any rewrite. We have
found there are tonnes of different  firewall variables in (client-end)
networks we've come across - so currently have several openvpn instances
running on the same server to maximize success rates. Having all that
handled by one instance would be much simpler (with threading or forking
- don't care - not a programmer ;-)

If we're asking for ponies, can I also have one that can do some form of
latency test first (in the case of DNS resolving to multiple server IPs)
so that clients go to the "fastest" server? I'd love to have a single
client config that would give users the best performance by default (by
taking them to the openvpn server closest to their current location). 
Within our Cisco VPN environment - where the GUI shows users all our VPN
gateways - users (if left to their own devices) will typically chose the
FIRST one and then stick to it - even if they are travelling to other
countries. We have gateways all over the world and users typically don't
use the optimum one - they use the one that "worked last time". And then
they complain how slow VOIP is over it ;-)

In the words of immortal Devo: "Freedom from choice: is what you want" ;-)
