[svlug] OpenVPN - one down one to go

Hey all,

I got the OpenVPN working, simply by changing from 
UDP to TCP. Everything else was configured properly, 
but for some reason I, and the others who looked at 
the config, didn't see anything wrong. But simply 
trying TCP instead of UDP got it working fine.

Now I am wondering how to make a second server on 
the same LAN in the office also available from my 
home machine via OpenVPN.

The first server that now has OpenVPN is set up with 
the following:
71.36.241.186 (external IP)
192.168.0.101 (LAN IP)
10.8.0.1      (OpenVPN IP)

And the second server, without VPN, is set up with:
71.36.241.185 (external IP)
192.168.0.100 (LAN IP)

How would I go about getting this second server 
available via OpenVPN, accessible also from my 
workstation here at home?

 From home, which has OpenVPN IP of 10.8.0.6, I 
access the first server at 10.8.0.1.

Is there way to assign the second server 10.8.0.2?

The kinds of questions I have are things like:

1. If I install OpenVPN on the second server, won't 
it's DHCP function collide with server one's DHCP 
serving?

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this are 
greatly appreciated.
