Thanks to Raja for figuring out that "mesh" toplogy is what Hrishikesh wants. As Raja has said OpenVPN only supports star structure (i.e. all traffic goes through the VPN server) or point-to-point. You can create a OpenVPN mesh network you need to to do a lot of scripting to create many point-to-point networks and routing tables will be long. If the VPN structure is being used for encryption only and not for tunneling, then a better alternative is to use IPSec or IPv6.
