Here is my problem.
1) The client connects to OpenVPN server
2) Sometime later, the client IP address changes
3) The client times out and attempts to restart. The log file entry is "Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting"
4) The client tries to lookup the DNS name of the OpenVPN server
5) The DNS lookup fails because the OpenVPN routes are still in the routing table
As a fix, I used the IP address for the server in the client config file. Is there a alternative/better solution?
