Replying to [comment:2 plaisthos]:
> I think it might haven broken this back when I did the dual stack
patches that went into 2.4.0. Consider that this has now been broken the
whole time in 2.4.0 and we have only one report that noticed that this
feature is completely broken, I wonder if it might be better to just
remove the feature in 2.5.x rather to then try to fix a feature that seems
not to be used very much. To be honest I m not sure what the real use case
for this feature is anyway.
It's always possible (although perhaps unlikely) that others experiencing
this bug could have seen the open report, and decided that they had
nothing to add.
Anyway, in case it makes any difference, my use case for this is that I'm
running OpenVPN on two servers, to provide redundancy, with the clients
configured almost at random to prefer one or the other.
In order to be able to route from any client to any other client,
regardless of which server they are connecting to, I run a script (cube-
routed) that looks at the state of logged in clients on the other server,
and adds routes (going via another OpenVPN link, between the servers) to
ensure that one can get to the clients that are attached to the other
server.
It works well enough, but if there's now a better way of achieving the
same aim, I'm fine with switching to another approach.
I am also happy to test either that alternative, or attempts to fix this
bug, so feel free to ask either way.
