I agree that this is not the optimal solution, especially for large/high
bandwith setups. I was just looking for something that I could get going
with what I have today. My ideal setup would be a central arbiter that
hands out routing and encryption info each for each p2p connection that is
desired, but I don't know of anything that does this currently.

I guess I need to read up a bit more on how tap interfaces work. I guess I
assumed that the hypervisor was controlling that, so there wouldn't be room
for openvpn to jump on it. But assuming it is as you say, that seems very
promising, and much easier to get going than I though.

I think I'm going to try this out here in the next few days, and see how
easily I can get something setup. If I have luck I'll put up a blog post
about it.

Thanks for the input,
Tom
