Several OpenVPN for one client

Hello all,

I've some questions about OpenVPN, to set several servers.

I would like to well understand this section in the client.conf

Code: Select all

# The hostname/IP and port of the server.
# You can have multiple remote entries
# to load balance between the servers.

Could you tell me if I'm right :

On my network, imagine that there's two computers (192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.11) which run openvpn server with the sames configurations (certificates, server.conf, etc...)

If my clients are configured like that

remote 84.154.14.161 9410
remote 84.154.14.161 9411

and the router nat redirection are like that

9410 > 192.168.0.10 > 1194
9411 > 192.168.0.11 > 1194


If the computer 192.168.0.10 is down, does the client will try itself to connect on the 192.168.0.11 ?


Tell me if I right (and sorry for my bad english :) )
