Hi all, IMHO this feature would be out of OpenVPN's scope, just as QoS or firewalling are. It'd add (talking from my ignorant-and-no-developer point of view) lots of complexity, and we know complexity and bugs travel in the same ship :) This can be achieved in both Linux and FreeBSD, it's not easy but it's possible.
