Please stop mixing topics all the time.  Either ask about "iroute" and
"route" statements, or about "ccd-exclusive" - these are wholly independent 
questions.

A client that has no certificate can not login.  So if you never issued
a certificate to anyone but "Trusted", nobody else can login, without
further config.

What happens if you have certificates rolled out to "Trusted", "Bob" and
"Alice" happens on what you actually want to achieve - you can control
this with ccd-exclusive, or with a client-connect script that only permits
certain users.

But first try to understand the basics - certificates, routes, IP addresses -
before going to more complex topics.
