*boggle* when i removed the overlapping openvpn subnet, WOL started working 
again.  i ended up having to revert to my previous openvpn subnet 
configuration, and create a second VPN tunnel to my other site for the 
openvpn subnet to use.

i hope a future release of pfsense will implement a gui editor to allow more 
than one subnet to access a single vpn tunnel!  i had many sites, it would 
sure be a pain to create a pair of tunnels for each one, just so that road 
warriors could have access everywhere they need.

cheers,
jonathan
