Hi,

Starting a new easy-rsa setup from scratch. New CA etc.
I noticed in my old config I had a dh4096.pem file which I had supposedly build 
by temporarily increasing the KEY_SIZE line
export KEY_SIZE=4096
... I think.

However, I can no longer find why I did this, supposedly to get a larger base 
for my TLS / session keys... I think.

1) Am I right? Does a larger dhxxxx.pem file indeed result in a larger pool for 
OpenVPN to get TLS/session keys from?
2) If 1) is correct and there is indeed a use for a bigger dh file, can I 
indeed create a new dh4096.pem file by temporarily increase the KEY_SIZE, run 
build-dh and then set it back to what I have?
3) Is there any use in creating an even bigger dh file, lets say a 8192 bit 
version?
