Perhaps a better solution can be found in the OpenVPN 2.1 manual:
quote:
--port-share host port
When run in TCP server mode, share the OpenVPN port with another 
application, such as an HTTPS server. If OpenVPN senses a connection to 
its port which is using a non-OpenVPN protocol, it will proxy the 
connection to the server at host:port. Currently only designed to work 
with HTTP/HTTPS, though it would be theoretically possible to extend to 
other protocols such as ssh.
Not implemented on Windows.
End quote

I've never tried this, but it might work for Joerg
