I have a little feature request.

I use TAP and bridging in many roadwarrior configurations.

I would really like to see what IP address that has been assigned to which client in the --status file.

A while ago we discussed how to protect against the user using another IP address that the one he was assigned, and you, James, changed the code so when using TUN, only the assigned IP address is allowed.

However with TAP you said it was much harder as openvpn only keeps track of MAC addresses rather than IP addresses.

I can live with this security issue, but would it be possible to just save the IP address that was assigned to a client so it can be showed in the status file?

How does openvpn work when a client is not a single machine, but a whole bridged network? Does openvpn hand out multiple IP addresses from --ifconfig-pool then?

How does this look like in the status file? One CLIENT LIST line and multi ROUTING TABLE lines?
