So, I can try to assist, but I need to see what exactly kind of layout you want.
Server with 10.0.0.0/21
Each client to connect to the server and get one of those IP's
Do you want the clients to be able to communicate with each other or just the main server itself?
How do you want to test the VPN exactly?

I'm sorry for the delay rajesh - I have had something come up. I recommend swinging by the IRC channel.
