I also suggest that we modify the last para of --dhcp-option docs in the
man page to clearly indicate that this option is not handled by OpenVPN on
non-Windows clients, and that the user has to use a script to pick up the
DNS options and update their lcoal "resolver" settings. What we currently
have is

              Note  that  if --dhcp-option is pushed via --push to a
non-win‐
              dows client, the option will be saved in the client's
 environ‐
              ment  before  the  up  script  is  called, under the name
"for‐
              eign_option_{n}".

from which its not at all obvious that adding the options to the env is all
that OpenVPN does. It sounds more like an extra step done on non-Windows
clients.
