ok -- so i have used the "local" option for each openvpn instance, but
the openvpn client process still uses the lowest numbered gateway and
starts the packets going out the wrong interface.

i guess the question is: how do you tell openvpn what gateway to use to
establish the vpn? one would have thought that if the openvpn process
was bound to sis4's interface, that it would have used sis4's gateway to
send packets. indeed, it does not.

badly need help!

thanks
