Yes.

Yep. Hence the reason I'm fussing ...

There will be (a little after the aformentioned 'eventually') listeners on the
server, listening at various of those IPs, accessible ONLY to their respective
remote LANs clients over the VPN -- AND I'll eventually be setting up DNAT &
masq from/to the SERVERs external IP to/from the LAN_X_SERVERS.

That gets invoked from the *main* openvpn config, right?

Ah, so it replaces ccd/*
TBH, I appreciate the ccd/* metaphor. It's very clean and tidy. And very
nicely portable. It'd ReallyNiceToHave(tm) the ability/option to "do it all",
per client, in each client's ccd/*. Still not sure if it's doable, and/or of
it entails much more than a client-connect-script capability -- in effect, an
"up script", in ccd/*.

Know of it. Never used it. Think it's vast overkill for my need. Watch now
-- I've jinxed it :-/
