Unless I'm reading your original post wrong this is your issue.

 > local 192.168.20.253

When you have a cluster (active-passive) - as  I believe you are trying 
to do - each hardware node, has as you outlined,  a real physical 
address and then there is a floating IP ( or what I call VIP ) that the 
clustering tools manage. The  VIP is active on whichever node is the 
active node at that point in time.

So for example under normal circumstances  your "primary" node will have 
it's physical address eth:0 in your example and the VIP (eth0:1 in  your 
example) address active on it. i.e. the eth0:1 .24 address is active 
only ever on 1 node or the other at any point in time.

When the cluster fails over the secondary node is given the VIP address.

As such your inbound firewalling/port forwarding and the local directive 
of your OpenVPN instance should be explicitly bound to the VIP NOT the 
physical addresses of either of your cluster nodes.

The local 192.168.20.253 binds that instance to the physical address not 
the VIP (eth0:1)

Now if you are trying to do active-active there is a different thought 
process that needs to be done in that case - and is not something that 
makes a lot of sense for something like VPN services (usually)

Any help or am I missing the point of your original question.
